  2. Place all ingredients into a medium-size bowl and stir to combine.

  3. If the mixture is a little dry add a splash of water (a teaspoon at a time) until it sticks together to form a sticky ‘dough’.

  4. Scoop a small section of dough and roll in the palm of your hand to shape into bite-size balls, repeat until all the mixture has been used.

  5. Tip: Use approximately 1 heaping teaspoon per bite which makes them the perfect size for popping into your mouth on the down-low, so you don’t have to share!

  6. If you are going to coat your bliss bites in cacao, coconut or sprinkles simply place your cacao, coconut and/or sprinkles into a small bowl or zip lock bag and gently shake until nicely coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
