S’more Energy Bites

 

Energy Bites alt

Camping out and making s’mores got us thinking about other ways to combine the timeless combo of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. My husband loves these before a run, and my son loves them for dessert. Sure to be a family crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy mini chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life)
  • 8 to 10 Dandies mini marshmallows
  1. Combine all ingredients except the marshmallows in a large bowl; chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Shape the mixture into balls, placing a mini marshmallow inside each. You’ll have enough for 8 to 10 servings, depending how large you make them.
