Tips:

Place the energy bites in a sealable container and refrigerate them. They will keep for up to four weeks.
To freeze energy bites, place them in a freezer-safe ziplock bag and freeze them for up to 6 months.
For easier and workable nut butter, warm the peanut butter in a microwave safe dish for 10 second sessions for softened nut butter.
Try using almond or cashew butter.
Add more nut butter if the mixture is too dry.
