Ferrero Rocher Bliss Balls

Believe it or not, but these are the first ever bliss balls I've ever made! My husband is getting back into the gym and body building now that the boys are a bit older, and wanted some healthy protein packed snacks! He also is a sucker for Ferrero Rocher Chocolates, so I thought I would make him a healthier version!

Ferrero Rocher Bliss Balls
FERRERO ROCHER BLISS BALLS
Ingredients:
  • 150 grams hazelnuts
  • 20 grams oats
  • 20 grams ground LSA (linseed, sunflower, almond)
  • 10 grams chia seeds
  • 10 grams cacao powder/cocoa
  • 190 grams medjool dates (pitted)
  • 30 grams coconut oil
Method (Thermomix):
1. Add all the above ingredients into your bowl.
2. Blitz 40 Seconds/Speed 4. I wanted to have some chunky bits of hazelnuts for texture, like the outside of Ferrero Rocher chocolates, however if you wish to have a finer texture, blitz on Turbo a few times until desired consistency.
3. With damp hands, use a metal tablespoon to measure out the crumb-like texture, squeeze the mixture in your hand and shape into a ball.
4. Place in fridge to set.
Method (Blender):
1. Add all the above ingredients into your bowl.
2. Blitz on the highest setting until all of the ingredients have combined to your desired consistency.
 3. With damp hands, use a metal tablespoon to measure out the crumb-like texture, squeeze the mixture in your hand and shape into a ball.
4. Place in fridge to set.
Note: Medjool dates differ in dryness, so you may need to add 5 - 10 grams more coconut oil if the mixture comes out dry, or add 5 - 10 grams more 'dry' ingredients (oats, LSA, chia seeds) if the mixture comes out too sticky to shape into the balls.

Note that LSA is a blend of Linseeds, Sunflower Seeds and Almond. You can buy it in the organic/health food section of Woolies/Coles or a Health Food Store or you can blend it up yourself!
