No Bake Energy Bites

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!
