Notes
Each recipe makes between 12-20 energy bites.
*Make sure that your nut butter does not have any other ingredients other than nuts (and maybe salt). Processed nut butters which contain palm oil are overly sweet and do not set up as well in this recipe.
** Chilling the mixture is essential in preventing stickiness during rolling. If you find that your mixture is too sticky, you can also try wetting your hands slightly before rolling.
***Nut allergy- I have had readers successfully make this recipe using sunflower seed butter
