Do you guys like cacao nibs?
Some can be super bitter, I know. Navitas Organics makes these ever so slightly sweet ones that I love for their crunch … on oatmeal … in nice cream … and these cocao bliss balls, which, by the way, were a total throw-together-whatever-ya-got-and-hope-for-the-best success story. (Scrumptious! 👌🎉)
I add just 2 or 3 to a bite and, um, alternate nib bites with non-nib bites. (Is that weird? 🤷♀️)
What are your eating idiocyncracies? 🤗

Cocoa Bliss Balls Recipe
- 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp birch xylitol
- 1 dash pink himalayan sea salt or kosher salt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp cashew butter
- 2+ tbsp purified water
- (for garnish) 1 tbsp cacao sweet nibs
Set aside cacao nibs.
In medium large bowl, mix all other dry ingredients til well combined. In small separate bowl, mix together coconut oil and cashew butter then combine with dry ingredients. Add water til oatmeal softens and becomes a consistency where you can form balls.
Press firmly into measuring tablespoon, then gently roll into balls.*
Stick a few cacao nibs onto each ball as you enjoy!

*Tip: Mini balls that you can pop into your mouth in 1 delicious bite are fun. Press mixture firmly into tablespoon, then slide it out with your thumb and divide in half, rolling between palms into balls. Yum!
