CHOCOLATE CHERRY ENERGY BITES


~ The Complete Cookbook for Teen Chefs, written by America's Test Kitchen

3/4 c. old-fashioned oats
1/3 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 c. pecans, chopped
1/3 c. dried cherries, chopped 
1/3 c. creamy peanut, almond, or sunflower butter
2 T. honey
1/8 t. salt

Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Use wet hands to roll into 16 balls. Place on plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until firm. 

Notes: I've only made them with chopped almonds instead of pecans, but you can experiment with different nuts or dried fruit. I had a hard time getting mine to stick together in a ball shape long enough to get them in the fridge, but they taste good.
