How are you with snacking? It’s a constant battle for many, myself included. This easy energy bites recipe might be just what you need! Around our house, there are many times I see someone standing and staring into the cabinet in search of the snack that will satisfy. Of course, the grocery store is full of snacks – so many, in fact that it’s can be overwhelming about which ones to toss into the cart.
