No-Bake Energy Bites

While perusing recipes on a recent snow day, I stumbled across this simple batch of NO-BAKE ENERGY BITES. Luckily I had all the ingredients on hand and in less than an hour, I had a delicious snack. I also found these perfect to grab and eat with my morning coffee/tea at work. Simple snack and simple breakfast. A win-win for me!

• 2/3 cups toasted coconut (I omitted this)
• 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until evenly coated. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until it becomes cool and all of the ingredients hold together.
