Chocolate Bliss Balls 

---

Ingredients:

• 250g / 2 Cups of Cashews
• 20g / 2 heaped tbsp of cacao
• 50g / 2 generous tbsp of Coconut Oil – I use Loving Earth (it tastes amazing)
• 7 fresh organic dates, pitted
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut for rolling

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients (minus desiccated coconut) in the food processor and blend until combined. Mixture should resemble a moist granular texture that binds together well when rolled into balls.
2. Pour desiccated coconut on a large plate or flat surface.
3. Roll mixture into bite-sized balls, before rolling in desiccated coconut to coat.
4. Place completed balls in the fridge for approximately 15 minutes. This will set the coconut oil.

Notes:

These delicious Energy balls store in the fridge for 2-3 days in a sealed container. Perfect as a kitchen activity for children.  Feel free to substitute cashews for other varieties of nuts. I often alternate between Walnuts and Cashews just to change things up. Enjoy!
