‘Tis the season for chocolate! It’s almost Valentines Day and it’s the middle of winter, so we’re all craving those delicious comfort flavours. But in the name of all things healthy eating, let’s enjoy chocolate in a guilt-free way, shall we? I love making energy bites (like these Cranberry Cashew Energy Bites) because they’re such a healthy snack idea, and so I knew these Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites just had to happen. They are super easy to make and they’re made with only all-natural ingredients like real dark chocolate, oats, and dried fruit, so they contain no added sugar and they’re great for a quick, healthy snack on the go! And they taste like dessert! Everyone in our house loves them, and I know you will too!

    Oh my goodness these look SO good! How can you go wrong with dark chocolate and peanut butter though?! I think I'll make these next week to take with me to the Children's Museum to keep my energy levels up with my boys!

    Made these and they are fabulous! I’ve even used steel cut oats and they do not have a gravelly texture at all. Superb!😋
