Bliss Balls are such a simple snack food, and 1 or 2 small ones are perfect for snacks on the run. Dates, tahini and sea salt blended together with a little coconut milk make a wonderful caramel. So I decided to try to use this combination to make a bliss ball. The verdict was yum by our kids and so I give you Chocolate Caramel Bliss Balls. These are nut free so perfect for lunchboxes. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 10 medjool dates (seeds removed)
- 2 tablespoons hulled tahini
- 1 pinch of good quality see salt
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tblspns cacao powder
Method
