HONEY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP ENERGY BALLS

CLASSIC ENERGY BALLS the ones you’ve had at that café.

I love a great café. Living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, I have a few favorites I love going to. Usually, the decision is made based on what I’m in the mood to eat. When I make my way to Black Star Bakery, I’m crossing my fingers and praying that they have their energy balls that day. Such a win when they do. Now, confession, I don’t make these all the time because they are wayyyy too addicting. They cannot exist in my house because they won’t exist in my house ... if you catch my drift. Please, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
