RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Ingredients Info:

Dates - you can use either dried and pitted dates or medjool dates in this recipe. If using medjool dates, you may need to add extra almonds as they have a soft, moist texture when compared to dried pitted dates.
Cocoa powder - choose regular unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder.
Strawberry fruit spread - I used the St Dalfour brand of strawberry fruit spread. This spread is made from 100% fruit with no added sugar or preservatives.
Almonds - you can use either raw almonds or roasted almonds for this recipe. I generally use raw almonds.
Desiccated coconut - this is a fine, dry coconut that is perfect for coating the bliss balls in.
