Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 20
Cuisine: Western
Ingredients: 12 medjool dates, pitted; 1 cup raw macadamias; 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted; 1/4 - 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or raw honey or rice malt syrup) (optional); 2 tablespoons tahini (either hulled or unhulled); 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 3/4 cup desiccated coconut

Two of my favourites - caramel and macadamias, combined to make these raw caramel macadamia bliss balls. Also included is the thermomix recipe.

Today's recipe is an adaption of my popular Raw Caramel Slice recipe – one of the first recipes I shared on Becomingness.

It is still my favourite dessert recipe and it made me wonder if it would work as a bliss ball.

The results speak for themselves – I may even prefer it to the original, as you still get the amazing caramel flavour, but in a easier to make recipe. You can't go wrong with that!

I am a big fan of healthy snacks that are easy to make and these bliss balls fall right into the easy to make category! They only take 15 minutes to make or even quicker if you are making them in your thermomix.

You only need a few ingredients to make them, including:

Medjool dates
Macadamias
Coconut oil
Maple syrup (or raw honey or rice malt syrup) - this is an optional ingredient
Tahini (either hulled or unhulled)
Vanilla extract
Desiccated coconut

Yield: Makes 20
