Hazelnut Mocha Energy Balls Recipes

HAZELNUT MOCHA ENERGY BITES

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a Food Processor and pulse until combined. You can also mix all of the ingredients together by hand in a medium bowl, but this will take a little more elbow grease.
• Spoon around 2 tbsp of the mixture into your hand and gently roll it to form a round ball; the dough should be moist, but not too sticky. You can also roll the Bites into fun toppings if you'd like.
• Store the Energy Bites in the fridge for up to 7 days, or the freezer for up to one month.
