I could probably eat an entire box of them but I never really wanted to know in the past, what was inside of them, because I knew they were for sure not healthy. Haha! So I wanted to give them a try, but instead of making the standard recipe, I wanted to make a healthier version of them and that&#8217;s how I came to combine Bliss Balls (or also called Energy Balls) together with chocolate. So inside they&#8217;re filled with healthy, wholesome and naturally sweetened ingredients and outside they&#8217;re covered with dark vegan chocolate and Beetroot Powder. To make these Bliss Balls stick together and also taste sweet, I simply added Medjool Dates. If you&#8217;ve been following me for a while, you&#8217;ll know that Medjool Dates are one of my go to sweeteners! You can pretty much make anything sweeter by adding some dates in it. I also added some Raw Almond Butter in these, but feel free to add any other nut butter in there. Oh and if you got some raspberries laying around, try eating them together with these Truffle Bliss Balls. They taste even better together!<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1333131745\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1333131745 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1551520549\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img width=\"916\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03786-2-916x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03786-2-916x1024.jpg 916w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03786-2-510x570.jpg 510w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03786-2-268x300.jpg 268w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03786-2-768x858.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 916px) 100vw, 916px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1551520549 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-389131656\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-389131656 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_14230758\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img width=\"991\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03721-3-991x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03721-3-991x1024.jpg 991w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03721-3-510x527.jpg 510w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03721-3-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC03721-3-768x793.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 991px) 100vw, 991px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_14230758 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-612119358\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-612119358 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h1>Healthy Truffle Bliss Balls<\/h1>\n<p>Makes 20 Bliss Balls<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bliss Balls:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups glutenfree oats<\/li>\n<li>8 medjool dates<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup coconut flakes<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup hemp seeds<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 cup almonds<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp almond butter (or nut butter of choice)<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp cacao powder<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp nutmeg<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp orange zest<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp orange juice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Coating:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup dark vegan chocolate chips<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup Beet Powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Place all the Bliss Balls ingredients into a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Ey2JgM\"><span style=\"color: #f0bbbb;\"><strong>food processor<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2qAqzQ1\"><strong><span style=\"color: #f0bbbb;\">blender<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and blend until the mixture is completely combined and holds together when you try to make a ball.<\/li>\n<li>Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture.
