  • Sweetened coconut
  • Dried cranberries

Make it fun (and less messy for little hands) by placing the Sweet Salty Energy Bites in miniature cupcake liners in bright colors. The more appealing you make it for kids, the less likely they will want the “junk food”.

Just pop the bites into the refrigerator to chill for an hour or two before serving.
