This nut free chocolate bliss balls recipe is so easy to make and is perfect for popping into kids lunchboxes as a healthy treat.

I love this recipe for bliss balls - it is so quick and easy and being nut free they are the perfect bliss balls for kids lunch boxes, if you have a no-nut policy at school.

And my kids love them! They think they are getting a special chocolatey treat when really they are tucking into perfectly healthy bliss balls. Love it!

How to make bliss balls

Making these nut free bliss balls takes just around 10 minutes.

Simply whizz all the ingredients up in your food processor, then roll them into balls with your hands and roll them in desiccated coconut. Done!

You want the ingredients for these homemade bliss balls to form a dough that sticks together and is easy to roll, but be careful you don't mix it so much that it becomes a smooth paste. You want it to have some consistency to it.

In a food processor, this will usually take around 2-3 minutes on low speed. Check on it every 30 seconds or so to see how it's doing.

Thermomix bliss balls

If you want to make these easy bliss balls in the Thermomix, just throw all the ingredients into the jug and whizz them up on Speed 6 for 30 seconds. So easy!

Storing bliss balls

I store these chocolate coconut bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge. They last up to a week. (Actually they don't because they get eaten up too quickly!)

Can you freeze bliss balls?

Yes you can! If you aren't planning on eating them all right away, then they will last 2-3 months in the freezer. You can then pop them in the lunchbox frozen and they will be deforested and ready to eat by lunchtime.
