Pin(s) of the Week: Marshmallow Popcorn & No-Bake Energy Bites

Last week I tested one healthy, and one decidedly-less-healthy snack recipe - both were easy, fast, no-bake, and gluten free - and I liked them both!
The marshmallow popcorn, was a super fast and easy last-minute dessert... of which I ate too much of and felt sick at night. I always do that with popcorn desserts, I think they're healthier because they're mostly popcorn, but choose to ignore the fact that they're absolutely coated in sugar and butter (usually). I halved the marshmallow part of the recipe, and the popcorn was still thickly covered in it! We decided this was how to make popcorn balls! Here's the link!

The other snack was much healthier, not in a low-cal sense, but in a less-refined-sugar, actually-has-some-protein-fiber-and-other-good-stuff sense. These I've been able to ration out, one a day for me, and I've shared with the kids a bit - they tasted like cookie dough to me! I subbed out some of the sweetened coconut with unsweetened, and I think I could get away with less honey next time, but they really are yummy as is. I totally will be making these again!
