Almond Joy Energy Bites

These almond joy energy bites are super simple to make and are perfect for on the go. Quick oats, chia seeds, shredded coconut, almond butter, and mini chocolate chips make up these quick bites. I like to keep these on hand in the fridge for a quick sweet snack or as a good substitute to sugary store bought granola bars.
