Chocolate Orange Bliss Balls
This recipe in theory replaces Terry’s chocolate orange at Easter and Christmas time. The flavour comes from using actual oranges and cocoa powder that gives the bliss balls a similar flavour to Terry’s version, but is version is made by you not the corporate giants Kraft.
The recipe is dairy free & vegan, which works well for people who can’t have Terry’s chocolate orange due to the milk chocolate. The balls can also be used as a healthy snack for children – if including in lunchboxes just replace the almonds with sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Doing this should add a similar flavour to the balls and will also offer a different fat profile, with more polyunsaturated fats.
