Description
Healthy Chocolate Weetbix Bliss Balls are a no bake snack made with Weetbix, Medjool dates, cocoa powder, and peanut butter. These bliss balls have a rich chocolate flavor, a soft fudgy texture, and natural sweetness from dates. They are quick to prepare, require minimal equipment, and are ideal for meal prep, snacks, or a better for you dessert option.
Ingredients
Weetbix cereal, crushed for the base
Medjool dates, pitted and softened if needed
Water to help form a smooth date paste
Natural peanut butter with no added sugar
Unsweetened cocoa powder for chocolate flavor
Shredded coconut for texture and binding
Extra Weetbix for coating
Ground cinnamon for the outer dust
Instructions
Check the dates and remove any pits. If the dates are firm, soften them in the microwave briefly or soak in hot water, then squeeze out excess moisture
Add the dates and water to a food processor and blend until a smooth, thick paste forms
Add peanut butter, whole Weetbix, cocoa powder, and shredded coconut to the date paste and blend until fully combined and sticky
Adjust the mixture if needed by adding more coconut if too wet or a little water if too dry
Refrigerate the mixture to make it easier to roll
Clean the food processor and blend extra Weetbix, cocoa powder, and cinnamon until fine crumbs form
Roll the chilled mixture into evenly sized balls using your hands
Roll each ball in the chocolate Weetbix dust until coated
Place the bliss balls in an airtight container and refrigerate until firm before serving
Notes
Medjool dates are recommended because they are softer and sweeter than regular dates
Natural peanut butter works best, but almond butter or cashew butter can also be used
If the mixture feels sticky while rolling, lightly dampen your hands with water
These bliss balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week
They can also be frozen for longer storage and thawed before eating
