Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Balls

Healthy Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Balls to celebrate the weekend! Couldn’t resist dressing them up with a coat of dark chocolate ganache and a sprinkle of Rose Petals. It’s raw, gluten-free and Vegan too. Yay

 

Bliss Balls

 

I’ve always wanted to make my own bliss balls. They are usually called no baked snacks. If you know me, I like to take the easy way out and no baked desserts are sometimes high on my list. These snacks are also called energy balls. Why? They provide the energy to keep you going for the day. One ball has less than 100 calories. The original recipe calls for Medjool dates but I didn’t have any in my pantry. You can guess what happens next… Fridge Cleaning!! That’s usually my favourite part when you raid the fridge or pantry cupboard for things you sometimes “never knew existed” and go HEYYY i could use this to make something really yummy.

Chocolate Bliss Balls

This version contains a mixture of coarse bits of whole almonds ( for texture) and ground almonds. It also contains dried cranberries which I soaked for 15mins to remove some of the sweetness from it, chia seeds, cocoa powder and a little honey.

If this is not bliss, I don’t know what is!
