MOCHA FUDGE SNACK BALLS

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0LinkedIn0Print0

Hi there! Do you love snacking? I hope you do, because I have a fun recipe for you! I made these mocha fudge snack balls as wholesome as possible while still maintaining a lovely fudgy consistency and super sweet flavor. I actually first attempted to make fat bombs with less sweetness, but my experiments failed. It seems I really love my snacks sweet, like dessert. And these definitely are sweet!

And fugdy, too, thanks to a classic combination of three ingredients: nut butter + dates and some coconut oil for extra smoothness. I could eat this stuff just as it is, but experimenting with different flavors is so much fun. I copied the recipe and flavor idea from my new book which is all about vegan baking and sweet treats, but I altered the original recipe a bit by adding more almond butter, which is just the best (especially when it’s homemade!). I rolled these into balls and added a colorful coating of sprinkles, dried berries and shredded coconut. The best candy (in addition to berries ofc)!

These lovely snacks differ from bliss balls quite a lot because there are no whole nuts/seeds, rolled oats or any kind of flour. This is not a dense snack but a super soft one. I recommend storing these in the freezer, otherwise they get  oily and too soft.

If you’re wondering what would be a great time to eat these sweets, here are my recommendations:

♥ as a sweet snack bite with afternoon tea or coffee

♥ whenever sweet cravings hit all of a sudden and you’re about to grab something really sugary and unhealthy

♥ as a dessert for the whole family (if coffee left out)

♥ as a smoothie bowl topping, like I’ve done here:
