NO-BAKE OATMEAL PROTEIN BITES

No-Bake Oatmeal Protein Bites image

I have been looking for a long time for a protein bar, or at least something close, that didn't taste either flat or just plain-old bad. I tweaked this one to get around my tree-nut allergies and finally have the recipe I'd been seeking! These are yummy, and my teenage daughter even likes them! Store refrigerated.
