Jaffa Bliss Balls

If you grew up loving Jaffas, you’re going to fall in love with these Jaffa Bliss Balls. 🍊🍫

I still remember sharing Jaffas at the movies as a kid – the smell of chocolate and orange together is so nostalgic for me. These bliss balls give you all that rich, zesty flavour but with wholesome ingredients that make them perfect for snacking any time of day.

They come together in just 10 minutes with the help of a food processor (so easy!) and can be made nut-free for school lunchboxes. I love keeping a batch in the fridge for a quick energy boost or a sweet little treat after dinner.

Whip up a batch, pop them in the fridge and you’ll have a delicious snack ready whenever those choc-orange cravings hit. Healthy snacking has never been this good.
