An afternoon snack - chocolate bark

 I made this Chocolate Bark the other day when everyone was craving something sweet.

I had some milk chocolate melts in the cupboard and a packet of trail mix so I decided to combine the two. It would be even better with dark chocolate but the kids are not fans!

I can't wait to make it again with other toppings like raspberries, coconut etc. Anything goes!

Not to mention Christmas is coming up and it becomes all about the Peppermint Bark from William Sonoma. Have you tried it?

Healthy Afternoon Snack - Our favourite Bliss Ball recipe

Bliss Balls are the perfect afternoon snack. A little healthy something to get you through to dinner time. I remember eating a Byron Bay Bliss Ball (while on holiday in Byron) about 10 years ago and trying to guess what was in there and recreate it. I never quite managed it but I did happen to stumble across heaps of different recipes and the one below is our favourite.

Recipe for Bliss Balls

1 x cup of pitted dates

1 1/2 x tablespoons of unprocessed cocoa powder

2 x tablespoons of raw cacao powder

2 x teaspoons of vanilla bean paste

1 cup combined of almonds & cashews

Desiccated coconut for rolling the balls into.

I just throw everything into the food processor together and give it a blitz.

Keep pulsing until all the nuts are finely chopped.

Use damp hands and roll them into balls.

Roll the balls in desiccated coconut.

Store in the fridge.

Super simple!
