Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large, microwave safe bowl, combine the cashew butter, vanilla, coconut oil, honey and dark chocolate. Microwave on short (5-10 second) blasts, stirring each time until the mixture is smooth and glossy and the chocolate is melted.

Add the chopped dried cherries and rolled oats, and stir well to combine.

Divide equally - I used my tablespoon measure to make 20 bites. If desired, melt a little extra dark chocolate and using a fork, drizzle over the bites to decorate them.

The energy bites can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week. They can also be frozen, just allow to defrost for a few minutes before eating.
