Chocolate Hazelnut Energy Bites


Prep Notes

Love the taste of Nutella but hate the added sugar? At it's core, what gives Nutella it's flavor are two ingredients: chocolate and hazelnuts. I love the combination, so I thought I'd whip them together into a delicious, energetic, and healthy treat. These energy bites are perfect for snacking.
