Chocolate Bliss Balls

October 05, 2016

We think that you'll love these chocolate bliss balls. They're packed full of ingredients to help with milk production, like almonds and apricots, but they're not just for the lactating ladies, everyone else will love them too!

You can keep them in an air-tight container in the pantry, but we also find that they keep well in a snap-lock bag in the freezer.

This recipe features in our new recipe book 10 Recipes to Cook and Freeze Before you have a Baby, along with loads of other tasty and healthy recipes. In the book you'll find ideas for lunch, dinner, and a some snacks too, and guess what? It's available for free download!
