These delicious peanut butter chocolate chip no-bake, no food processor energy balls are easy to make and only have eight ingredients! You will love having them as a healthy pick-me-up or snack.
After having my last baby, my friend introduced these to me, and I was “in love at first sight”. These were my favorite breastfeeding mom food. They have lots of quick energy and they are so tasty and addicting. If I woke in the night hungry, they were easy to pop in my mouth for a quick snack. They have the perfect amount of sweetness from the honey, coconut, and chocolate chips to curb sugar cravings when feeling ravenous as a new mom or for anyone on busy at-home or workdays.

I keep these in my freezer for a healthy snack and to keep me going on busy days. I normally double or triple the recipe to make a ton of them. These are pretty customizable as well. You can add or omit ingredients, as desired.
