No-Bake Energy Treats


Our oldest daughter, Kynsten, was on an electronics hiatus in June. (negative consequence for a poor choice). Truthfully, I was a little nervous about it because she would get some screen time when her sister napped, which gave me some time to get some work done. She really started reading even more than she normally would. We made several trips to the library for new material. Our latest trip, we found this book.
Good old Curious George! I loved him when I was a kid. At the end of this book, there was a recipe shared for a really healthy snack. How cool is that?! We decided to give them a try. Yum! :) 

INGREDIENTS:
* 1 1/4 cups of old-fashioned oats or quick oats
*1/2 cup of natural peanut butter
*1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips
*1/3 cup of honey
*1 tsp of vanilla extract
**Their recipe also suggested 2/3 cup of coconut flakes BUT I hate coconut so left that out. :) I actually have the other ingredients on hand at all times. :) 

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Take all of the ingredients and mix into a medium sized bowl.


2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

3. Take out and roll in balls.
4. ENJOY!! 

**Keep them refrigerated**


FIXERS: 2 of these bad boys=1 yellow :)

Happy Eating!!
