If you are looking for a healthy sweet treat alternative go no further. We have tasted a number of different recipes for bliss balls and have developed this recipe and it is now our definite favorite. The recipe produces roughly 30 bliss balls and you will need that amount otherwise there will be arguments in the house! You can freeze the balls to extend the length of time of use. Surprisingly, you can eat them straight from the freezer and they are just as good.
