Notes
- If you find your dough is a bit dry, you can add a bit more honey or peanut butter.
- A cookie scoop would be a great tool to help make your energy bites a uniform size.
- Since these energy bites freeze so well, they are the perfect recipe to make a double batch and freeze that second batch for later.
