Energy Balls

I am a self proclaimed snacker. I like to snack and I LOVE sweet things!! These energy balls make the perfect snack and will satisfy those sweet cravings. Chocolatey goodness, peanut butter, crunchy seeds, chewy raisins...yes please! I try to have a stock of these in my freezer at all times!

You can adapt this recipe to include whatever your heart desires! This batch I did half peanut butter and half almond butter, added some chopped dried figs and substituted the cranberries for raisins because that's what I happened to have in my pantry.  There is no right or wrong ingredient to add to an energy ball as long as it is something your into!
