¼ cup almonds chopped
½ cup mini chocolate chips
Heaping ½ cup peanut butter

Notes

Prep time does not include the time for the energy bites to chill.

Variations for Energy Bites:

Mix it up a little by swapping half of the chocolate out. Use ¼ cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and a ¼ cup of another flavored chips such as toffee, cinnamon, or white chocolate.
If you're not a fan of honey, try using agave nectar to sweeten these energy bites instead.
Use almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter instead of the peanut butter.
Swap out the pecans and almond for other nuts such as walnuts or cashews.

⏲️ Storage

These will last in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks.

Better yet, these no bake energy bites can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months! I like to make a great big batch and freeze them. I take out what I need for lunchboxes the night before.
