Coconut and Almond Bliss Balls
I love these healthy bliss balls anytime of the year, but they are particularly good rolled out at Christmas time, dusted in coconut and looking like they've spent a night in a snow dome. Whipped up on the fly, these guys are super easy to pull together, you literally just lump everything in the processor and voila... blissed out in no time. Plus they're a wonderful snack-happy treat for kids to be Santa's little helpers, getting the ball rolling and exercising their play dough making skills to create bundles of natural goodness for the whole family to enjoy.
There's a bit of trial and error with the consistency of the mixture, it should be slightly gooey and moist, not too runny or rock hard so that the ingredients crumble in your hands. The nut butter and tahini are perfect for allowing the mixture to hold which makes an easy rolling experience. Wheel them through sesame seeds or coconut to get the full afffect, then refrigerate and enjoy these mouth-watering munchies.
