Amaze Balls! Ten amazing bliss ball recipes

Amaze Balls! Ten amazing bliss ball recipes

Aptly named, as these little balls of flavour are very blissful.

They are fantastic as a healthy alternative to lollies for kids (and big kids).

Bliss balls are great to pop in lunch boxes or to have after dinner if you have a sweet craving.

Just remember that most bliss balls do contain a lot of dried fruit and nuts so are a concentrated form of nutrients.

Try to restrain yourself to one or two.

I put mine in the freezer so I am not tempted, although they do taste good frozen!

Okay, so here are my pick of the best bliss balls around:

 

choc-805x607

Β These are my Choc-Hazel Bliss Balls (they taste a bit like Ferrero Rocher!)

 

Lime and Goji Bliss Ball

Β Lime and Goji Bliss Ball from Simone at Nourishing Hub.

    I have also been experimenting with a date, cacao, coconut oil and dried blueberry combo which has been awesome…the more superfoods the better, right?

    Amazeballs indeed! I love anything that is round and resembles chocolate… I’m going to work my way through this list. Here is a recipe from the The Gawler Foundation for almond and fruit truffles, which are so easy to make that I always feel like I’ve missed a step and am pleasantly surprised that they still taste fab:
