It was time to make something healthy for the kids, thus the inspiration for these Almond Joy Energy Bites.
If you follow my recipes in any capacity, you’ll know that I have no problem with sugar and the occasional indulgent dish. But, the volume of cinnamon rolls, eggnog, cookies and candy that churned through our house during the holidays had me hankering for something healthy. I also wanted to get a little extra nutrition into my two little sugar junkies without making them go cold-turkey on the sweet stuff. Here’s my answer: Almond Joy Health-Nut Cookies. Both kids have tested and enthusiastically approved of these no-bake, protein packed bites and to demonstrate how easy they are to make, Blaise and I decided to ham it up for the camera.
