Easy Fig & Cacao Bliss Balls - Vegan / Plant Based Snack Recipe
Bliss balls are the perfect little homemade sweet treat. I love them so much! They live up to their name and eating them (two!) will for sure put you in a state of heavenly bliss. :)
Hamilton Beach Food Processor:
They are nutty, thick, semi-sweet, and have the perfect chew. The base is made up of mostly dried figs (I use golden figs) and almonds. There isn't that much chocolate in them, just a little cacao powder and some nibs, but it seriously does the job at satisfying my sweet tooth when I'm craving something chocolatey.
Bliss balls are dense and full of fiber and protein so a few of these will fill you up in between meals. The best part is that they are SO easy to make. I hope you enjoy this easy plant based snack recipe.
Recipe below and on my blog along with lots of other delicious plant based recipes:

Fig & Cacao Bliss Balls Recipe - Vegan
(Makes 12-15 balls)
1 cup dried figs
1 cup almonds
1/4 cup cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1-2 Tbsp cacao nibs or vegan dark chocolate chip mini's
1. Remove stems from figs. Put figs in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes until they soften up a bit.
2. In a large food processor (avoid the small mini ones, they will overheat), pulse the almonds until it forms a coarse meal. Add in the cacao powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt and pulse again until evenly mixed.
3. Drain the figs and add it to the food processor. Process until it becomes a crumbly dough like consistency.
4. Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl. Stir in cacao nibs.
5. Get ready to get a little messy! Form dough in to balls using a 1 Tbsp measuring spoon. Put on a plate and finish until all the dough is used up.
6. Eat right away and then store the remaining balls in an air tight container a week.
