Skinnymixer’s Gingerbread Bliss Balls are the perfect festive sweet treat to snack on this holiday season!
For a number of year’s my Paleo Gingerbread Cake and Raw Spiced Rum Balls have been very popular in the Skinnymixer’s community – the taste of Christmas dairy-free and gluten-free, without large amounts of refined sugar.
These Gingerbread Bliss Balls have been a big hit with the testing team kids (and adults) as a sweet treat that is a little bit healthier.
The best part is – they are perfect to make now, snack on a couple and then pop the rest in the freezer for serving over the holidays.
