Receta Raw Healthy Cocoa Energy Bites
Raw Healthy Cocoa Energy Bites
When I was younger if someone asked me if I liked veggies, my response was always the same. “Which veggie has the most chocolate in it?” I kid you not. I was a bit of a picky eater, unless of course, it contained chocolate or sugar at the very least. Then I actually read somewhere that eating chocolate was good for you. So I am sticking with that.
My Raw Healthy Peanut Butter Balls were such a huge hit. Very popular, simple and tasty too. For a switch, I went with my beloved chocolate to create these Raw Healthy Cocoa Energy Bites.
