S’mores Energy Bites
If you’ve been craving s’mores but don’t exactly have a campfire handy, these S’mores Energy Bites are the next best thing. They’ve got the gooey chocolate, the marshmallow, and the graham cracker crunch, but in a high-protein, no-bake snack you can grab straight from the fridge.
I love making a batch on Sunday so there’s something sweet and satisfying ready when the afternoon slump hits. They’re kid-friendly, totally portable, and come together in one bowl in about 10 minutes.

Recipe Tips
If the mixture is too sticky, add more oats a tablespoon at a time.
If it’s too dry, add a splash of milk or extra honey.
Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized bites.
Ingredient Swaps:
- Nut-free? Use sunflower seed butter.
- Dairy-free? Use dairy-free chocolate chips and marshmallows.
- Lower sugar? Swap some honey for unsweetened applesauce (may need extra oats to bind).
- Extra protein? Add 1–2 tbsp chia seeds or hemp hearts.
Meal Prep Tips: Make a double batch because they will disappear fast. Portion into snack bags for grab-and-go snacks. Perfect for packing in kids’ lunchboxes.
Storage Tips: Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months; thaw in fridge overnight or eat straight from frozen.
Troubleshooting:
- Bites falling apart? Add more nut butter or honey to help them stick.
- Too soft? Chill longer or freeze for a firmer texture.
- Too sweet? Reduce chocolate chips and marshmallows, or use unsweetened nut butter.
