Ingredients

1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolls oats dry/unprepared
2/3 cup natural peanut butter creamy
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips like Lily's no sugar added mini chips
1/2 cup mini M&M's

Instructions

In a bowl, cream together the peanut butter and honey using a rubber scraper. Add in the oatmeal, chocolate chips and M&M's. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Refrigerate the mixture 1 hour to chill. (This step is optional, but chilling the dough helps the balls form easier.)
Once chilled, use a cookie scoop, to scoop out the balls. Roll the balls in your hands to form. Place on a lined cookie sheet. Once all the balls are formed, place in the freezer for 1 hour. This will help the balls hold their shape.
Place the balls in a freezer container or freezer zip-loc bag. Store in the freezer and take out snacks when ready to eat.

Notes

Storage: bites can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. You can also place the balls into snack-sized bags, 2 per bag for individual servings.
