In
a large bowl, mix together the wheat germ, oats, milk powder,
coconut, cinnamon, and orange rind (if desired).

about one cup of the carob syrup over the dry mixture, or

much as is needed to make a pliable, dough-like consistency.

remainder in the refrigerator and use as an icing or to
make great milk
shakes.
Pinch
off pieces of the dough and roll each piece between your
palms
into 2-inch-long tubes about the circumference of a fountain
pen,
tapered at one end in the shape of a baseball bat. Roll
the rest
into marble-sized balls.
