Chocolate Covered Energy Bites

These energy bites are so simple and very easy to make. They also provide you with energy to get through the day.

1/4 cup of Flaxseed

1 cup of oats

1 bag of dark chocolate for melting 

Directions:

Combine the peanut butter, flax, and oats and once all is mixed together place in fridge for one hour to harden.

Place melting chocolate in fondue warmer to melt. ( you could use the microwave with a glass bowl, but you can burn the chocolate)

Remove your peanut butter mixture from the fridge and roll in to small spheres. Then dip them in chocolate and place on a wax sheet of paper that's over a cutting  board. After filling the sheet, place chocolate covered balls in the freezer for the chocolate to harden.
