They are no-bake sweet snack balls made by combining crushed Cicibebe biscuits with peanut butter and molasses. Recipes may add milk to bind the mixture or use shredded coconut or chopped nuts as a coating.
Mix crushed Cicibebe biscuits with peanut butter and molasses until the mixture holds together, then roll it into balls. Add the biscuit crumbs gradually so the mixture does not become too dry, and chill the shaped balls before serving.
They are not a baby-specific food. The recipe is sweet, and peanut butter is a major allergen; the sticky texture may also be unsuitable for some young children. Ask your child’s healthcare professional before offering it, especially if allergies or feeding concerns apply.
They are a sweet, energy-dense snack rather than an everyday substitute for more varied foods. Peanut butter contributes protein and fat, but the biscuits and molasses make the finished treat sweet, so serve it as an occasional snack.
They usually fall apart when the mixture contains too many dry biscuit crumbs or has not been compressed firmly enough. Knead in a little more peanut butter or molasses, shape the balls tightly, and chill them before serving.
Yes, they are usually made without baking. The crushed biscuits bind with the peanut butter and molasses, so you only need to mix, shape, and chill them; baking can dry out the mixture.
Honey can bind the biscuit crumbs in place of molasses, though it changes the flavor and is not suitable for babies under one year. Add it gradually, since a runnier sweetener can make the balls too soft.
Keep them in a sealed container in the refrigerator. If the recipe includes milk or another perishable ingredient, do not leave the balls at room temperature for an extended period; take out only what you plan to serve.
Yes. Freeze the balls on a tray until firm, then transfer them to a sealed freezer-safe container. Thaw them in the refrigerator before eating; the texture may soften slightly after thawing.
Smooth peanut butter makes it easiest to mix and shape the balls. If you use a natural variety with separated oil, stir it thoroughly first; otherwise the mixture can turn greasy in one spot and dry in another.

Cicibebe biscuit balls with peanut butter and molasses are made by mixing crushed Cicibebe biscuits with peanut butter and pekmez, a traditional grape or other fruit molasses, then shaping the mixture into bite-sized balls. They are a Turkish-style homemade sweet snack rather than a baked pastry.
The biscuits soften in the mixture, while peanut butter adds a rich, nutty taste and molasses brings deep sweetness. In Turkish homes, these are easy to serve with tea or pack as a small treat; they also work as a no-bake snack for sharing. They are energy-dense, so one small piece can be satisfying. For a lighter snack, make smaller balls and pair one with fresh fruit.
