Eric and I had a fun weekend… I went to a baby shower for a good family friend on Saturday. Something must be in the water because everyone is having babies now! So special that we’re all going through this new phase of life together.

I like to store these energy bites in the fridge so that they are nice and chilled when I eat them! I think they last longer that way too…but I wouldn’t really know because they don’t last long in my house anyways and are gobbled up in a couple days 🙂

    Great recipe. Exactly what I was looking for.
    My question is for how long to cook and in what temperature?
