Date balls are fantastic. They serve them all over Australia in cafes - all different flavours! yesterday I had a blueberry and lemon one - same principle, but with dried blueberries in it, and rolled in purple dust which I'm pretty sure was blueberry powder, and very very thin slivers of dried lemon! Just gorgeous. Oh, and @mrprofessor - these were what I was talking about!
Hello, I am glad you enjoy date balls. Is this what they are called in Australia? I was not sure what to call them but if they have a proper name that would be lovely.
I never thought to add different flavours. What a brilliant idea. Thank you so much for sharing and stopping by.
you are going to LOVE THIS NAME @carey-page ... but i want to create suspense.... cue music...
lol. I wait in anticipation... I am sitting on the edge of my chair in suspence.
BLISS BALLS! THEIR NAME IS BLISS BALLS!!!
Was it worth the wait @carey-page ?? Xxx
Oh my good ness that is so funny. That has made my day. Yes it was worth the wait. It has made my day. I would not have though that would be the name.
Good huh???
Totally.
Yuuuuuum! Do they melt? Seems like a great idea for a bike ride, to carry some of these.
They can. But if you put chia seeds in they are more solid. Less water and oil.
Gotcha! Once I have some spare time I'll give it a try. It seems like a great way to add natural fat into a fast snack, plus all the benefits of chia.
I'll also write about a brazilian candy that is made in small balls like that. Just like the date balls they are everywhere, from kids parties to coffee shops.
When I make them for foreign friends they think it's too sweet, but duuuuude, it's so heavenly.
