    RECIPE INGREDIENTS

    Macadamias - the original recipe used cashews, but in my version I used macadamias. You can also used blanched almonds.

    Maple syrup - You could also use rice malt syrup or honey instead of the maple syrup

    Vanilla paste- you can use either vanilla paste or extract. Both will work well.

    Shredded coconut - one of the main ingredients needed to make these bliss balls as well being used to coat them.

    Ingredients

    • ¾ cup macadamias
    • 1 ½ cups shredded coconut
    • ¼ cup coconut oil
    • ¼ cup maple syrup
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or paste
