This caffeinated snack is so simple to make, and it pairs perfectly with a latte or a cappuccino for an afternoon coffee break. Plus, it fits nicely into a lunch box! These espresso energy balls are so delicious, we couldn’t just keep the recipe to ourselves!

You can make this recipe with the espresso blend of your choice. All you need to do is use a grinder so that the espresso is fine enough to be mixed in with the other ingredients. It would also be delicious to make these with our Cremone or Autentico espresso blends, both of which are chocolatey. Venezia would also be an excellent choice with its strong notes of hazelnut.

Get out a bowl and roll up your sleeves, here is our recipe for espresso energy balls!

This recipe makes between 8 and 10 energy balls.
