Bliss balls, energy balls, date balls…whatever you choose to call them they are all one thing: delicious!

What are bliss balls?

Bliss balls are a simple treat that pack a mighty health punch. These pick-me-ups are a simple concoction of whole, raw ingredients blended together and then rolled into a convenient ball that you can bring anywhere and eat any time!  Making bliss balls have become such a staple in my kitchen. I think I must make them every week. They really are the perfect little snack to keep stored in a container in the fridge for whenever you need something quick and easy to eat.

Why are bliss balls healthy?

I think the better question is, is there anything not healthy about bliss balls?! Firstly, these balls contain only a handful of ingredients, so everything in these are whole and unprocessed. Secondly, being raw, these plant-based ingredients contain their natural enzymes that aid in digestion.

And now lastly, the ingredients in these specific salted caramel bliss balls are high in fiber, protein, minerals and vitamins. The main ingredient in any of my bliss ball recipes is Medjool dates, which are also great to make Snickers Dates.

Some other favourites I’ve made on the blog include these no-bake almond butter energy bites, and these Coconut Bliss Balls (an oldie, but a goodie!)

One thing I love about making these types of vegan bliss balls is that they are just so damn easy to make. I’m talking a food processor and the press of a button easy to make. It’s practically magic.

This recipe for salted caramel coconut bliss balls is especially easy to make since the recipe only uses 4 ingredients. Yup. that’s it. and one of the 4 is salt (which hardly even counts as an ingredient!)

The secret to the salted caramel flavour in these bliss balls is to use Medjool dates. If you’re not familiar with Medjool dates, they are bigger, softer and have a more caramelly flavour than regular dates do. They’re pretty much the definition of “nature’s candy.”

You can of course use regular dates in this recipe if you don’t have Medjool dates on hand, but if you can find them, I HIGHLY recommend them!

The other great thing about using dates in this recipe is that there is no added-sugar to these bliss balls! They are 100% natural ingredients but taste super decedent.

I like to roll mine in some unsweetened shredded coconut, but you can roll these babies in anything you like! Hemp seeds, chia seeds, and cocoa powder are all good options.

Description

Healthy and delicious bliss balls that only require 4 ingredients!


Ingredients


Instructions

  1. Add the Medjool dates, almonds, shredded coconut and salt to a food processor and pulse until it forms into a sticky dough.
  2. Using your hands, roll into bite-sized balls, and then roll into a plate of shredded coconut to top if desired.
  3. Store in the fridge in an airtight container


Notes

Depending on how fresh your dates are, you may need a few more dates. If your dough isn’t sticky enough, add a couple more dates and pulse until it feels like a sticky dough.

Can’t find Medjool dates? Soak regular dates in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain and use.

    One of my favorite recipes and grab and go snacks for work and mom life.  How long do you think these stay good for once placed in a air tight container?  

    1. Jessica Hoffman says:

      So happy you loved it! They’ll stay fresh up to 2 weeks in the fridge

  2. Nicole says:

    Delicious!  Thanks for sharing.

      You’re welcome Nicole!

    Thanks!!

    1. Jessica Hoffman says:

      Thanks Harmonie! So happy you enjoyed!

    These are probably the nicest bliss balls I have made. I forgot to soak my dried dates beforehand, so just added a bit of water after I had blended them roughly and they still turned out very well. I used a bit less salt to start with and they were perfect. I will definitely be making these again. 

    1. Jessica Hoffman says:

      Thanks Katharia! So happy you loved them 🙂

  5. Sarah Rimmer says:

    These taste amazing! But next time I think I’d use desiccated coconut not shredded as the shredded coconut wouldnt stick to the bliss balls. Also the recipe only made 14 balls so would double it next time.

    1. Jessica Hoffman says:

      Happy you enjoyed Sarah!I’m not sure which brand of shredded coconut you are using but it should stick if the flakes aren’t too large 🙂

  6. Lily-Jane Woolf says:

    How long do these last for in the fridge? They are delicious

    1. Jessica Hoffman says:

      Hi Lily! They will stay well in the fridge for 2 weeks at least. (After that they may start to get a bit dry.) These also freeze well so you can store them in the freezer for up to 3 months!

  7. Danielle says:

    Where do you get the caramel part from? From the ingredients list these are predominantly date and almond balls with a bit of coconut. I am a little confused

    1. Jessica Hoffman says:

      Hi Danielle, the recipe uses Medjool dates, which taste like caramel when you make the recipe.

      1. Demi says:

        Any replacement for the almonds and cashews thats nut and peanut free?

        1. Jessica Hoffman says:

          You can try replacing them with shredded coconut!

  8. Linda Scope says:

    Where is the caramel in the bliss balls? 

    1. Jessica Hoffman says:

      Hi Linda, these bliss balls are made with medjool dates that have a very caramel-like flavour. When blended with a pinch of salt in these bliss balls the taste is like salted caramel.
