Recipe! Peanut Butter Cacao Bites

Hello There! I hope that everyone has had a wonderful week! I'm always on the lookout for healthy snacks, and lately, I've been trying to find ideas for snacks I can make on my own that are healthy and taste good. So, this week, I combined a recipe I found on Pinterest (isn't Pinterest a wonderful place?!?) with some of my own ideas to create what I think is a reallllllyyyyy tasty take on peanut butter protein balls.

They're dark chocolatey, peanut buttery, gooey no-bake yumminess, and you literally mix everything together in a bowl, refrigerate for a few minutes to make it easier to handle, then roll it into bite sized balls. It's that simple!

Here's a look at the ingredients!

The finished product!

I'm not much of a recipe creator, so I'm pretty happy with how these turned out. They are quick and simple to make, healthy, and perfect for a slightly sweet, protein-filled snack to get you through the day! If you try it, let me know what you think!
