These bliss balls combine walnuts, dried fig, dates, prunes and coconut. Simple to make, no cooking required and ready to eat within the hour. We have chosen to blend these ingredients to a fine consistency as an easy bite size bliss ball. If you prefer a less fine consistency, shorten the time of blending.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups walnuts
  • 10 dried figs – stems removed
  • 20 dates – deseeded
  • 10 prunes – deseeded
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil – melted
  • 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
