Yes! I love this recipe. Bites are my favorite and I need to make some- it’s been too long. I also have trouble finding unsweetned coconut where we live so I usually order it online.
I love recipes that only have 2 steps! And these look so good and healthy. Although maybe not that healthy if I eat a dozen in one sitting lol. Awesome recipe!
These would be perfect for my post workout snack! And so easy to make as well!
Yumm!! These bliss balls are so mouth-watering, bookmarking this recipe!!
Simple and delicious, just my kind of recipe! Would love to make up a batch (or three) to see us through the working week! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I like that they are naturally a sweet treat.
These look great and so easy to make!
These look so good and I love the fact that they are so easy n quick to prepare. I think I’ll have to hide them from myself after making as they would just disappear that fast 😉
These little balls look perfect for a quick pick-me-up or even dessert! Lovely…
I’m going to try to make these for my Mom! She is gluten lactose intolerant. I have been having trouble finding unsweetened coconut. I looked again last week. Do you thin sweetened coconut would be ok, or will it be too sweet?
Hey Beth! That’s great! Sweetened coconut shouldn’t be too sweet, although if she likes things a little less sweet maybe try using coconut oil instead of agave to cut down the sweetness there. Also, if you’re an Amazon Prime user, Bob’s Red Mill is a great option – http://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Shredded-Unsweetened/dp/B002YR7A9Q . I go to Amazon for all the things I can’t find locally in stores 🙂 I hope your mom enjoys them!
