Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup peanut butter or your preferred nut butter
  • 1 cup dry oatmeal
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl until well blended.  These can be difficult to blend well, but I suggested to Molly that she mix it with her (clean!) hands when she was running into difficulty.
  • Roll mixture into balls.  You may need to add another tablespoon or less of the nut butter if you have too much difficulty binding dry ingredients together.
  • Chill the energy balls in the refrigerator until they are firm.
