Amelia’s Amazeballs: Salted Chocolate Coffee No-Bake Energy Balls
You guys. I hate to play favorites but when chocolate and coffee are added, is it really a level playing field? I made these last week and then popped them in the freezer curious how they would hold up. Yeah…put these puppies in the freezer. They maintain a nice texture and biting into the slightly…
