Do you have that typical afternoon slump? For me, it happens around 3:30 – 4pm. I always try to look after myself by having a cup of tea and, if I’m lucky, putting my feet up for a few minutes.

It’s also the time of day that I start craving a sweet treat. To have something sweet but healthy on hand is a great way to prevent myself from scoffing something that is not so good for me.
Bliss balls are the perfect treat. You can make them in the size you want and from a variety of healthy ingredients. They are quick and easy to throw together. Oh, and they are absolutely delicious!
For this recipe, I’ve used some simple ingredients like almond meal, cocoa powder , local honey, maple syrup, freshly squeezed orange juice (if you love an orange zing, you could even include some orange zest!), vanilla extract and dessicated coconut (optional).
I hope you enjoy my recipe!

I made a batch of these Chocolate Bliss Balls to share with my knitting group last week.
They were a delightful hit! I learned that almond meal and almond flour are interchangeable. Thank you so much for sharing, Kelly. I love them!
I’m so happy to hear that Diane! They are just like a healthy chocolate truffle š
Hi Kelly – before I make these goodies I wanted to confirm that it really is 1 tbsp. of Vanilla Extract. Usually the amounts are for 1/2 tsp or 1 tsp for cookies. Please confirm. Thanks.
Oh no, it’s meant to be 1 teaspoon, sorry about that I’ll fix that!
Looks really good. Can cornmeal be a substitute for Almond? I have cornmeal to use up, but no almond meal. Thank you.
I don’t think I would use cornmeal in this case. A ground nut is much better for this recipe š
