Everyone knows I love a good bliss ball recipe. Why? Because more often than not they are so easy to whip up and only require a handful of simple ingredients. You can whack in anything and hope for the best. Oh, and in a lot of cases they are pretty good for you too (well better than a chocolate bar!).
Bliss balls are always a lunchbox staple around here. These Key Lime Bliss Balls are gluten, dairy and egg free! These do contain nuts but can be made using seeds in their place for a lunchbox friendly option. Im loving lime at the moment. So fresh! This have a nice tang to them without being too much for the kiddies. And yes. Real key limes arent used in this recipe. This is a little spin on it. A healthier key lime pie inspiration ball.
Hope you like them as much as Mr 2 and 6 do!

Approximately how much do 10 medjool dates weigh please?
I posted this recipe onto the Queensland Association of School Tuckshops to see if it’s a “Green” product and they said “Amber” because of the dried fruit. LOL. What a joke hey. 10 semi fresh dates spread through 24 balls and they have an issue with it. But then again, they reckon we should only use Margarine. Pffft.
