Chocolate Energy Bites

More energy bites! I just love having these in the fridge- available whenever I'm in a rush, hungry without any ready-to-eat food, or wanting a little dessert. I make them pretty small because they are high calorie from so many nuts and dried fruit. So easy to make so try them out this weekend!
