Lime Bliss Balls
Taking a plate of bliss balls along to a social function is one of our favourite options when asked to bring a plate. Firstly, they are quick to make and relatively inexpensive. Secondly, they are quick to be snapped up as there are many people that are looking for a healthier option to satisfy their sweet tooth. The lime gives a lovely fresh zing to the balls, a welcome change from chocolate! They have been shared with us from Peta's blog, The Road to Loving My Thermo Mixer.
