I love coconut and with these cashews in this I am sure this would be even more delicous as a treat. My kids will love these!
I love these no-bake, no-cook bliss/ energy balls. I've tried it with roasted nuts but never with just cashews. I am sure they must have tasted amazing.
Hi!
I love the sound of these! I make my own cashew milk at home and I was wondering whether these might work with the cashew pulp rather than the whole cashew in the mix? What do you think? I hate wasting food!!

Hi Rosie! Ooooh what a GREAT question!! Hmmm... having never made my own cashew milk, I'm not familiar with how thick the pulp is. It's questionable since the cashews are really the main base of the ball, aside from the dates. I'd first try a 1/4 pulp to whole cashew ratio first and see how that works. I'm really intrigued though so please let me know how it works out! 😀
I love coconut and dates, these little balls sound wonderful, what a great healthy snack option!
Thanks, Joy! 🙂
I love making homemade snack balls and make something very similar at home. So tasty!
Thanks, Jemma!
These would definitely satisfy my sweet tooth in a completely non-guilty way. I love anything with dates in it!
These look so good I would have a hard time eating only a couple. I love cashews so these are right up my alley!!
YUM! These look so decadent, but are healthy! Awesome.
Healthy & delicious! These look absolutely amazing.
