These are gluten-free. You can substitute peanut butter for the almond butter. As an alternative to rolling the dough into balls, you can spread the dough in bottom of a baking dish and cut into bars. I upped the honey from 1/3 to 1/2 cup so they are more cohesive.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, toss together the puffed millet and puffed kamut or rice. Add the dried plums, chocolate chips, and sesame seeds.

- Roll the power balls in additional nuts, seeds, or coconut: This will give them a nice crunchy coating.
- Store the power balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer: They will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
