Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, chocolate, and sea salt. Stir until evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.

- Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls with your hands.
- Place the bites on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up.
