5 Ingredient Chocolate Bliss Balls

5 Ingredient Chocolate Bliss Balls (Vegan, Nut & Gluten free)

These allergy free morsels of goodness were developed as a lunch box snack. My little ones school is designated nut free and most of the bliss balls/ bars out there had nuts in some form or, the other. What’s an innovative mother to do but, to develop her own 5 ingredient and 2 step recipe?!

We need,

• Pitted Dates – 1 cup
• Desiccated Coconut – 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons more to roll in
• Sunflower Seed Butter – 1/4 cup
• Cocoa Powder – 4 tablespoons
• Vanilla Bean Paste – 1 teaspoon

Directions,

I used my trusty Kitchen Aid Food Processor to make this 5 Ingredient Chocolate Bliss Balls (Vegan, Nut & Gluten free) recipe.

1. Pulse the dates, dessicated coconut, sun butter, cocoa powder and vanilla bean paste until a sticky dough forms.
2. Use a spoon to scoop out bits of dough, roll it into a ball and then roll in Dessicated coconut!

Best stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (I promise they do not last half as long!!). Enjoy! 😊

This recipe was developed in January 2015 after trawling the net for recipes as, I could not find very many nut free bliss ball recipes. At the time, when I had first tried making these I had submitted it to this website too – http://www.mouthsofmums.com.au/recipe/nut-free-bliss-balls/
