Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute walnuts or almonds for cashew nuts.

    My three year old loved these snack balls - that makes it a five start recipe in my book! I used the ingredients listed, with the exception of substituting peanut butter for almond butter. You could easily swap out different nuts for the cashews, or another dried fruit for the apricots, but I think the dates are essential. Since I don't have a food processor, I used the Vitamix. To my surprise, tamping down the sticky mass caused the Vitamix to suddenly shut down; apparently it was starting to overheat. Fortunately it was undamaged, and the balls were already blended well enough to finish by hand. If using a Vitamix, don't run the machine continuously, but only in short spurts, pushing the ingredients down when the motor is off. Scraping as much of the mix as possible from the bottom of the blender proved to be the only challenging part of this recipe.
