Instructions

Place all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll the mixture into bite sized balls. I made 13 but it depends on what size you want your energy bites to be. Refridgerate for 1 hour to allow them to firm up, place a small straw or cake pop stick into each energy bite and serve.
The energy bites will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
