I am on P2. No comment.
Used this as a base recipe to make some bliss balls for my grandaughter who has many food allergies. Swapped nuts out with a mix of pepitas, sunflower seeds and hemp seeds. Quinoa flakes instead of coconut. And a sprinkling of cacao nibs. I rolled them in sugar free drinking chocolate. The mix tastes good so hopefully she will love them.
He, just wondering if these can be frozen? Or how long they would keep for? Thanks!
Made these today. Very tasty. I’ll definitely make them again. 3 drops of peppermint oil was just enough to taste but not overpower
Substituted cashews with raw almonds, still great!!
I made with fresh mint from my garden instead of the oil. Delish
Love this idea!
So damn good.. taste like mint slices 😋
Made these today. I didn’t have cashews on hand so substituted with half sunflower seeds and half roasted almonds, I cut back on the dates and was a bit more heavy handed with the cacao, vanilla and peppermint. They were delicious. I had to make a second batch almost straight away as the first batch were devoured!! Thanks for the recipe!
Just loved these, they were so yummy!
However, my husband and I became very sick and after Googling have come to the conclusion that chia seeds were the cause, It is a food that apparently needs soaking before being used, so if you have a reaction this is most likely the cause.
That no way takes away from the recipe, but just be aware some folks can have a reaction to these seeds. I’ll still keep making them but will replace them or leave them out.
May have been the cashews also I love them but they don’t me, yes Chia farmore figestable If soaked first as are the cashew or almonds🌿👣🌿
I don’t have any ‘flavoured oils’ what else could I use?
I’ve used orange zest, yum!
A definite winner, thank you so much for sharing.
OMG, I made these today and they are to die for
These are so yummy! I made them smaller, Got 29 from the mix 🙂
Another winner! Yum
Made these today with half the amount of dates and they are delicious 🙂 all other ingredients were the full amount just the dates were reduced.
That would decrease sugar content a lot. Good idea!
These are one of my favourite bliss ball recipes.
There easy to make and my little girls love them to,
Fantastic – the kids (5 & 3) & I love these. Only adjustment we make is adding a little more peppermint oil as it wasn’t quiet strong enough for us. but otherwise another great recipe 🙂
Just letting you know that I have been making these as snacks, as healthy birthday treats and today I made them using orange oil. Tastes just like a Jaffa….hmmm only better. I use Doterra oils.
Do you still use 3 drops of DoTerra?
DoTerra oils are very strong so it depends on your individual taste – I only use 1-2 drops of DoTerra oils when I’m cooking with them so the flavour doesn’t overpower!
These are so so delish! Such a pity I have to share them hehe
I made these today and they are yum! I didn’t use coconut oil in them but I couldn’t get the coconut to stick when I rolled them in it so I will try with the oils next time.
Filling and decadent snack. I make my balls smallish so I usually get about 20-24. I portion out and just take two to work at a time.
Yum! My 1yo is hovering near the fridge for these ones! Might need to hide these guys at the back of the fridge so they last… 😉
a friend put me in the direction of these little bad boys and so pleased that she did! Not over powering at all, kids loved them too.
I’ve just made these! So delicious!! I’m one happy chef today 🙂
PS. We do love them as they are 😉
I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a substitute for the cashews that still tastes great? My kids go to a totally nut free school, and I’d love to be able to send some in their lunchboxes 🙂
Sunflower seeds.
Hi, my child’s school is also nut free. I substituted with pumpkin seeds & Quinoa flakes. I used 70g of each and they turned out perfect. I hope this helps 🙂
Hi, it could be worth double checking with your child/ren’s school if cashews are banned too. They are actually a seed (they grow on trees, in a seed pod on the outside of a fruit called the cashew apple) so they may be okay. Mind you cashew allergy is also pretty serious, but if the children in question have a tree nut or peanut allergy, then cashews wouldn’t be problematic.
I HAVE to put these in the freezer after I make them…. otherwise they are gone within an hour!
My absolute fav choccy treat!
These are great, thank you. I store mine in the freezer . Perfect snack.
Soooooo good! I didn’t have any peppermint so just added a dash of coconut essence instead but these were just ‘amazeballs’!
can I use almonds instead of cashews? Thanks!
Hi. I dont have chia seeds. Can i just omit this ingredient?
So moreish! Perfect for mint addicts like me. I used Lorann peppermint oil, 4 drops worked a treat. Who needs mint slice biscuits when you can have these? About 3 weight watchers pro points per ball if making 16, I divided into 22 for about 2 pro points per ball. Thanks for the great recipe!
I am with slimming world , would you know the sin value for these
Many thanks
Slowly working my way through all your recipes, Nik. These are fabulous. Bliss balls indeed!
These would have to be one of my favourite bliss balls ever!! I’m going to try some variations on the flavour oil just to experiment but I LOVE the chewy caramel like texture!!!
These are great next to the Spiced Rum Balls, for the kids (and big ones too). So good!
I made these last night. They were delicious 🙂 My 14yr old couldn’t pick that it was dates and he and my 10yr old nearly ate the lot. They are a big fan of choc biscuit balls so having an alternative that is healthy is great.
OMG! So delicious. They are the perfect snack. 🙂
Yum yum yum!! So easy and yummy!
Yum! So quick to make – whipped up a batch while my husband was changing our newborn’s nappy! 😉 Delicious too: my first bliss balls… I might be addicted now…
I made these little delights, delish! The perfect afternoon pick me up.
These are really yummy. Definitely worth making
