I love summer, but summer is kicking my bootie right now. The boys are GO, GO, GO from sun up until sun down. And sometimes Maxwell is awake before the sun is up, he is our early riser. I love being a mom of boys, but they rarely will sit and read a book or color. They want action 24/7, especially during the summer. They want to be outside riding bikes, playing basketball, baseball, soccer, shooting water guns, chasing chickens, going to the park, etc. ALL day long. They have an endless supply of energy that I am really envious of. I try to keep up, but man I am beat.

Our boys are also ravenous during the summer because they are always on the go. I feel like they are eating nonstop and are still hungry. They are always begging for a snack. One of their favorite snacks are these easy no-bake S’mores Energy Bites. These high protein snacks keep them going!

S'mores Energy Bites are an easy, no-bake, protein-packed snack that kids and adults love!

I don’t mind the boys eating these S’mores Energy Bites because they are so easy to make, I can whip them in no time. Plus, they are a healthy-ish way for the boys to enjoy s’mores and I don’t have to start a campfire:)

S'mores Energy Bites are an easy, healthy, no-bake snack that take 10 minutes to make.

The energy bites are made in one bowl with the following ingredients:

  • Oats (gluten-free oats work well)
  • Crushed graham crackers (can use gluten-free)
  • Chia seeds
  • Salt
  • Peanut butter
  • Honey
  • Vanilla extract
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Mini marshmallow bits

You probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry right now. You might have to go buy the Mallow Bits, most stores have them or you can order them on Amazon and have them delivered to your door:) Our boys LOVE anything with marshmallows and the mini ones are perfect for the energy bites.

No-Bake S'mores Energy Bites are a great healthy snack. These protein balls are a family favorite!

I like to use peanut butter for these protein balls because peanut butter cup s’mores are my favorite. Who’s with me? Peanut butter cups makes a killer s’mores! The peanut butter here reminds me of my favorite s’mores. They are SO good! Almond or cashew butter will work too!

If you are looking for a fun and easy summer treat, give my S’mores Energy Bites a try! You can keep the little energy balls in the fridge for up to 2 weeks…but they never last that long at our house. My boys beg for them every single day!

  1. My son is Caleb’s age and he is the same way! He does sleep in though, so I’m thankful for that! I know he would love these too!

    1. I can’t wait to try these. The reviews are great. Does anyone have an approximate calorie per ball? I know it depends how big or small you make them…an about would be great.

  2. S’mores anything is good in my book! Love these bites for on-the-go snacking and energy boosts! 

  3. well you know i love bites! and ones that taste like my favorite campfire dessert? SIGN ME UP!

  4. This looks wonderful! I’ve been on this energy bars/balls making frenzy lately (i’m a newbie) so finding recipes like this always gets me excited. I snack through them preeetty quickly so I need new ones to test often!

    They look awesome, I really love energy bars and it’s nice to make them yourself. Thanks for the tips!

    I made these last night and used cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips. They’re great right out of the freezer. I ate four today! 😉

  7. I’ve been looking for a new energy bite and since I love s’mores, this seems like a perfect next treat for me to try!

    1. The texture will be different and you will have to chop them really small…but they might work? I haven’t tried them. Let me know if you do!

    These were so good!  My whole family loved them.  Doubled the batch and now making more.  I loved them out of the freezer my teenage liked them better from the refrigerator, either way they are yummy!

  9. Hi.. greeting from Thailand. 

    If I don’t have graham crackers. What can I use for instead?

    Thank you for your recipes. 

  10. Hi! These look delicious, but one problem (to me). Is there a nut-free substitute for the peanut butter?

  11. My kiddos will love these! I have flax seed at the house; can I substitute that for the chia seeds? Do I need to use more or less?

  12. 5 stars
    Best Recipe ever, if I can’t find marshmallows I substitute craisins and roll in coconut.
    I have our whole town addicted to them.

  13. I can’t wait to try these. The reviews are great. Does anyone have an approximate calorie per ball? I know it depends how big or small you make them…an about would be great.

  14. I made these this week. While they are good, they don’t really have a s’mores flavor. I felt like the peanut butter overwhelmed the s’mores flavor. Maybe another type of binder like almond butter would be better so that you can taste the s’mores flavor more. I know almond butter has a strong flavor, too. Is there something else that would work like peanut butter but not have as strong of a flavor? And I’m a big pb chocolate fan, but I wanted it to taste like a s’mores ball.

  15. 5 stars
    Always love having some kind of energy balls in the fridge for a quick treat. Love the combo of peanut butter and s’mores!

  16. 5 stars
    These are delicious!! They don’t scream “s’mores!” but the flavors work together very well. The chia seeds and graham crackers add needed texture. They make a great snack, and were very easy to make!! I will definitely make these again soon, and probably some of the others as well! Thanks for the recipe!!

  17. These look great! Looking for snacks to make for camping/hiking and such. My son has an oat allergy, any recommendations on what to substitute for the oats? Thanks!

      I made one batch 18 balls in total and 106 cals per ball with 1910 cals per one batch of them

    These are great… got told about them from a friend… I double the recipe and add one scoop protein powder for more protein… I add ryse jet-puffed flavor to add more marshmallow flavor.

    We made these this morning, and just pulled them out of the fridge to try and WOW! They are so yummy!! My only issue was that my “dough” wouldn’t roll into a ball and they just wanted to stick to my hands instead. I could only roll about 6 balls, and then I ended up dumping the rest into a Pyrex and flattening it out so that I could cut it into squares. Any idea why mine wouldn’t stick itself?
