No Bake Energy Bites

Submitted by Chef SuzyQ

"We love these tasty little treats at our house. I first discovered them on a food blog called "Smashed Peas & Carrots." My five year old calls them "Cookie Dough Balls" and he is the envy of all his classmates when he packs them for lunch. They're a great, healthy way to take the edge off your hunger. I'm sure they would freeze very well, but they never last that long--very yummy!"

A co-worker brought some into work and they were delicious. Her recipe is the same as yours except her's uses only 2/3 cup of toasted coconut flakes. I'm running out to the store now to pick up some ingredients I need to make some to keep on hand at my house. Will post a photo as soon as I have some made. I will be making these often.

So easy. To make them healthier use almond butter instead of peanut butter, carbo chips instead of chocolate chips and make sure to use raw honey only. :)
