I love that these no bake energy bites are pop-able treats you can feel good about feeding your kids, or yourself! If your kids have a nut allergy, you can easily swap out the peanut butter for sunflower butter, or your favorite alternative. I adapted this recipe from one of the GREATS…Ali at Gimme Some Oven. She has some great ideas for alternate add-ins…check her out HERE!
