I have found my favorite “Go-To” snack. These No-Bake Energy Bites are the perfect snack. They are easy to make, a healthy option and they have chocolate.
I have a sweet tooth and I have discovered if I don’t satisfy that sweet, I will snack on more things than if I had just eaten the sweet instead. These no-bake energy bites are the perfect sweet for me and I don’t feel guilty when I have 1 or 2.

What I love about this recipe are all the options you have to substitute for other ingredients. Mr. DD said he did not care for the shredded coconut, so I left it out the next time I made them. You can add different flavors of baking chips or leave that out altogether. I am a pecan fan, so I made sure to include them in my recipe.
You can also substitute different nut butter if you have allergies. I am thinking my next batch I will try with almond butter. My local health store sells fresh ground almond butter and I think I am addicted to it. Some of you know that I am a HUGE peanut butter fan so I have been branching out and trying other options. I won’t give up my peanut butter, thank goodness I don’t have that allergy.
Let me know what substitutions you make and how you liked them. I love to hear your feedback.
