Cacao bliss balls with coconut

Cacao bliss balls with coconut, a healthy gluten free and vegan snack for a tasty energy boost!
A while ago I had a baking weekend and made a lot of recipes. Funny how I sometimes don’t bake for days or weeks and sometimes make 5 new recipes in one weekend, for me it is all about flow. When I am in the baking flow, it almost goes effortless and I get one recipe out after another.
I thought it was time for some nice snacks and I had to be quick with these cacao balls. I wanted to let them harden in the fridge and it was too dark to take a picture. Jens kept on eating them and the next morning I still had to take the pictures. Luckily he stopped on time and I had enough balls left for the picture. These balls are also very easy to take with you to the office or school and you have a delicious snack. You can also vary with this recipe for example by adding peanut butter, that way you make them even more tasty!
