Ingredients

0.5 cup 0.5 cup 0.5 cup Cashews, raw
0.5 cup 0.5 cup 0.5 cup Almonds, raw, unsalted
0.75 cup 0.75 cup 0.75 cup Dates (Medjool), pits removed. If you find your dates are a little dry you could try soaking them in some warm water for 10 mins before you begin, then drain and rinse and make as normal.
1 Tbsp 1 Tbsp 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
0.5 tsp 0.5 tsp 0.5 tsp Cinnamon, ground
0.125 tsp 0.125 tsp 0.125 tsp Nutmeg, ground
0.125 tsp 0.125 tsp 0.125 tsp Cloves, ground
0.125 tsp 0.125 tsp 0.125 tsp Cardamom Seed, ground
0.5 tsp 0.5 tsp 0.5 tsp Sea Salt
0.25 cup 0.25 cup 0.25 cup Coconut, shredded

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Place almonds and cashews in your food processor/blender and pulse until crumbly, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.
Add dates and process until the mixture comes together to form a sticky “dough”.
Add vanilla extract, salt flakes and spices and process again until combined.
Using your hands, roll approx 1 Tablespoon of dough into little bite size balls then set aside.
I feel like I should mention that when I make my bliss bites I tend to make them way smaller than the ones you see in stores or cafes. I prefer to make them on the smaller side because I like being able to just pop one in my mouth on the down low so I don’t have to share I can go about my business. I would say you would probably need 3 of my bliss bites to make up the size of one of those store bought/cafe size bites. Feel free make them whatever size that tickles your fancy, just wanted to put that out there 🙂
Place your coconut into a small bowl (or even just a zip lock bag) then gently roll your bliss bites in the coconut gently but firmly pressing to make sure to coconut sticks to your bite.
Once your bites have a delicious little coconut coating, transfer directly to your mouth an airtight container (or even just a ziplock bag) and store in the fridge
Enjoy xo
