This is a variation of the Healthy Golden Gaytime Easter Eggs. This time using blitzed up dark chocolate to roll them in for a little chocolate hit! You can use cocoa/cacoa powder or drinking chocolate to roll them in instead, however I like the blitzed chocolate for some texture!
This is most definitely the BEST bliss ball I’ve ever eaten – I ate a few before it even hit the fridge!! #nomnomnom

Notes
You can also press this into a slice tin and cut into slices once set (if you're too lazy to roll into balls!)
Yes almond meal would be ok to use!
HI, just wondering what I could sub the oats for as i can't have them. Do you think Almond meal would taste similar? Thanks.
Yum made them today. Definitely needs the time to harden up in the fridge. I was amazed the rice bubbles didn't go soggy. They stay nice and crunchy. Thanks for a great recipe
Good sharing, for healthy purpose, Chia seeds offer the highest volume of Omega-3, as well as addition fiber (soluble and insoluble) along with vitamins or perhaps minerals you don’t usually get whenever you take sea food oil. Chia seeds giving you long lasting energy during the day moving in deep, restful sleep during the night time. May read this article about Chia seeds at:

Can these be frozen?
Or added to an air tight comtainer?
For how long? Thanks
What would be a nut free substitute for oats? Sunflower seeds?
