Peanut Butter Oat Bites

I stumbled across this recipe the other day and thought it sounded like a great snack. Filled with simple ingredients and a little bit of chocolate, this crunchy, sweet, peanut buttery snack is sure to put a smile on your face. Kids will love finding this treat in their lunch boxes and adults will enjoy making {and eating} it time and time again. After my dad tried one he informed me that I should be making these again. Give them a try, and enjoy!
