Energy Bites

Warning * these are addicting! I treat these like a healthy dessert! Another tip I like to do is freeze them, and eat them frozen. I actually find they hold together better, and also take me longer to eat. Not everyone may like them that way, but I'm weird like that ;). It's  perfect afternoon pick me up if  I'm dieing for something sweet!
