Cosmic Chocolate Chip Bliss Balls


(Back in the day Hipster-Me wrote:)We’re going for an after-church picnic at Tofino Beach (west coast of Vancouver Island– bring your surf board Baby) and I’ve got the Bliss Balls dehydrating away even as I type this… I have made them before and they are a huge hit… they pack a lot of power and are the perfect on-the-go snack for hikers, picnickers, etc. The recipe is adapted from Sunflower Lord’s ebook Comfortably Raw: Chocolate. 

Also worth noting is that this blissful little confection can be made entirely gluten-free... just make sure that your oats, in particular, are gluten-free.

Enjoy!

A nourishing, no-bake-style snack packed with seeds, oats, coconut, and dreamy chocolate chunks. Perfect for hikes, potlucks, or busy afternoons.
