These are a great afternoon snack, low in carbs, high in nutrition and flavor. The inspiration came from Elana's Pantry posting for "Chocolate Power Bar Balls". Her recipe calls for dates which are delicious but also a little high in sugar. I changed mine up some by using dried cherries. I did a second batch that I made into actual bars instead of balls and put them on the dehydrator so I can take them in the car for work. The balls really should be kept in the fridge. Either version, you can add and subtract to suit your own preference
