Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Start with the basic recipe below from the Gimme Some Oven blog 

I made this batch with these with these adjustments

• I did not add the toasted coconut flakes to this batch but I dooooo love them with the coconut. 
• I used organic honey instead of agave nectar 
• I used dark chocolate chips 
• I pretty much always skip the step that tells you to chill the mix before making the balls (ain't nobody got time for that;)

You can totally customize these to your liking.
