Chocolate Chip Bites

While sometimes it is nice and easy to just buy my food straight from the store, when I have the time I definitely prefer to make as much food as I can homemade. I especially like to make my snacks because I feel like those are even harder to find as healthy as I would like without all of the added junk. They are also usually cheaper to make vs buy so I like that part as well! These chocolate chip bites are simple, lightly sweet and help fill the void in between meals or when I am craving something sweet. Check out my cooking video here!
