These energy bites are a hit in my house. They are gone just a few days after I make them, because they are the perfect afternoon pick-me-up or healthy late-night snack. You can enjoy these with a glass of milk at night or a hot cup of coffee in the morning. If you have a sweet tooth like I do, this is a perfect treat to fix your cravings without making you feel bad for all of the extra calories and sugar. With sweet honey and dark chocolate chips, these little bites will please the whole family.
