No-Bake Energy Bites Recipe

My kids come home from school ravenous, and instead of giving them the usual store-bought snacks, I decided to try and make some No-Bake Energy Bites.  The first recipe I found was on Gimme Some Oven, and I soon found many more just like it.

The recipe is very versatile, and I can imagine you can add all sorts of your favorite dried fruits, etc.

It's a great recipe for cleaning out the pantry!
