These little Energy Treats are high in Iron, which has become a very important part in my Diet. I am trying to get my Iron levels up, but that has become a harder task than I thought. Even with Supplements and Iron rich foods, my body doesn’t seem to cooperate. I do love homemade Granola, Cereal Bars and Energy Balls. They are so healthy and delicious. My kids love homemade Bars or Balls for School. Covered in Chocolate makes them look more like Truffes-yummy!
