These nut free jaffa bliss balls will remind you of eating jaffa's plus they are gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free.
These bliss balls are totally a-ok to put in children's lunchbox as they packed full of healthy ingredients.
Fingers crossed you don't get a note sent back, like I did when I included a piece of my nut free chocolate & coconut no bake bars in Joshua's lunchbox when he was at daycare.
I have made these bliss balls with wild orange essential oil, which I used to replace orange zest. It is so much easier to put a few drops of essential oil in your food instead of actually grating an orange.
Yield: Make 16 bliss balls

- Cook time does not include the time it takes for the bliss balls to freeze — approximately 1 hour, depending on the temperature of your freezer.
