If you happen to be at my house and see me stuffing something in my mouth.....it is most likely one of these No-Bake Energy Bites (original recipe from Smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com) So quick, so easy, no oven needed and best of all, fairly good for you in the healthy category! I consider chocolate to be the fifth food group...ha ha!
