I first came across this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy snack to take with me on my hikes. I had been making my own energy bars, but I was looking for something that was a little more portable and less messy. These energy bites fit the bill perfectly. They're small and easy to pack, and they don't crumble or get sticky. Plus, they're really delicious! I've been making them ever since, and I've never been disappointed.
