{Recipe} Raw Chocolate Bliss Balls

Editor’s Note: We’re all for quick, easy, healthy, and delicious recipes. Our Founder, Bethany, recently made these ‘Raw Chocolate Bliss Balls‘ by Petite Panettiere and fell in love with them so much so that we just had to share the recipe, with permission of course, with you! 

In the words of the recipe maker, Holly, “They’re fudgy, four ingredients, quick and easy, and require no cooking or baking. Perfect for toasty, lazy Summer days.” Yes, please! No fuss. All flavour. And the perfect cure to curb those sugar cravings. Don’t mind if we have one, two, or a few!
