Yummy Chocolate Chip Energy Ball Recipe
Terrie loves cooking and baking for her family and friends. There is nothing like making memories with family, friends, and food.
Easy to Make and Healthy, Too!
These energy bites are quick and easy to make. Get the children involved—they will enjoy making them, too. These little snacks can be put in plastic bags and served at kids' events, or you can bring them to work for an afternoon pick-me-up. I will also provide some of the substitutions I use when I want a little variety. The best part is that they are also good for you and taste great.

Energy Balls Are a Good Afternoon Pick-Me-Up
This recipe is the one our family makes the most. When we want a change, we add Nutella to add a bit of variety. Just two of these balls will give you enough energy for the afternoon.
From my house to yours: I hope you enjoy these as much as we do. Health and happiness to all!
