Have you ever had what they call an energy bite?  I mean those little, sugar packed bites of goodness that are meant to be eaten before a workout or mid-afternoon to give you an extra energy boost?  Well, I have and they are so good, obviously since they are packed with sugary deliciousness.  So of course I had to come up with my own version.  Enter in my Easy, No Bake Chocolate Dipped Energy Bites.  These came out so good and the kids reaction said it all!  They devoured them and the word they used to describe them was “Insane”.  They were pretty amazing and would be the perfect rush of sugar and protein right before a workout.  Mission accomplished!

The best part is I only used 4 ingredients which is a super big bonus in my book.  It’s amazing to me that you can create such delicious little treats with so few ingredients.  But it works!  If you also like easy dessert recipes check out my Healthy 7 Ingredient Fudgy Brownies.

Ingredients I used in these little treats:

• Oats
• Peanut butter
• Honey
• Cholcolate chips (mini and regular)

Mix it all together.

Roll the mixture into tiny little balls using a small ice cream scoop and wet hands.  Works like a charm every time. The using the ice cream scoop and wet hands method.

Aren’t they the cutest?  You can certainly stop here and eat them this way but I prefer dipping them in the chocolate.  But that’s just me, you do you.

Then you just let them chill out (literally) in the fridge for a couple of hours before you dip them in dreamy melted chocolate.  Oh yes!!!

Let them chill a little while longer, like 25-30 minutes so the chocolate hardens and …..They turn into little nuggets of oatmeal, peanut butter and chocolate goodness!
