I was thinking of making my Banana and Coconut Bread into little cupcakes today. And cup cakes need frosting don’t they?  So I went looking for a a recipe for frosting and I came across this yummy looking Gingerbread cake on Paleo Fondue, and better still, it has Cream Cheese frosting!  Now I have a dilemma as this cake looks so much more tasty than Banana bread cupcakes. I guess I will probably have to force myself to bake both!

This simple and oh, so healthy treat time recipe for Dark Chocolate and Citrus Macadamia Balls is from Mark’s Daily Apple and was the inspiration for creating this new Bliss Ball section on the blog.

Mark’s recipe calls for just three ingredients, macadamia nuts, orange zest and quality chocolate.  Then whizz, mix, roll, chill and you’re done.  Simple, tasty, nutritious.

What more could you ask for in a primarily inspired snack?

This is the first post for a new collection of Bliss ball recipes.  Tasty yummy treats that are so good for your body and your soul!  Some are my own creations and others such as this one have their inspiration from other awesome cooks.

There are a number of versions of this recipe, a make at home take on those popular choccies found everywhere at this time of the year.  I particularly like this one from  Caroline O’Fee for it’s simplicity.  Dress these yummies up with chocolate or coconut, or just eat them straight from the bowl!

Take care to share because even though there is no refined sugar, there is still sugar in both the dates, as well as the maple syrup.
