Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper. This will help you later when you place the bliss balls to set.
- If your dates are not already pitted, cut them open and remove the pits.
- Measure out the required amounts of almonds, cocoa powder, and coconut oil.
- Place the dates into the food processor or blender. Pulse until they form a thick, sticky mixture. This might take a minute or two.
- Add the almonds to the date mixture. Pulse again until the almonds are finely chopped and well distributed.
- Add the dry cocoa powder and the coconut oil to the mixture. Pulse until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is uniformly chocolatey and sticky.
- Using a tablespoon or your hands, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Each ball should be about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place each rolled ball onto the prepared baking sheet or plate.
- Once all the mixture has been rolled into balls, place the baking sheet or plate in the refrigerator. Allow the bliss balls to set for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and hold their shape.
- After the bliss balls have set, transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Take a bliss ball out whenever you need a quick, healthy, and chocolatey snack. Enjoy the rich, natural sweetness and satisfying texture!
Tips:
- Use Medjool dates for a richer texture and flavor.
- Soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes if they are too dry or tough.
- You can add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
- For additional texture, consider adding a handful of shredded coconut or chia seeds to the mixture.
- Store the bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
