These Chocolate Bliss Balls make a quick and healthy snack while satisfying your chocolate cravings. Quick and easy recipe ready in 15 minutes!
Heads up! This Chocolate Bliss Balls recipe was first published in February 2015. I made the slightest update to the recipe to make it more fudgey (always a good thing!) and updated the photos, March 2018. Enjoy!
I have to tell you about the conversation that went on when I taking pictures of these Chocolate Bliss Balls.
Tim: Taking more pictures of terd balls?
My mother-in-law, Fran: Tim! Those are delicious!
Tim: I know they’re good. But don’t you have a billion terd ball recipes on your site already? (Looking at me.)
Maryea: You can never have too many Chocolate Bliss Ball recipes.
Whether you call them terd balls, bliss balls, energy balls, energy bites, Larabar copycats, or healthy snacks, don’t you agree? Having some healthy balls on hand is a necessity. Now that sounds worse than calling them terd balls. Let me just get to the recipe!
4 ingredients. Including chocolate. Ready in 10 minutes. 15 minutes if you get interrupted, which you probably will if your house is anything like mine. You can handle 15 minutes, though, right? What are you waiting for? Just look at how fudgy they are!

Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews
- 3/4 cup pitted dates

- 1/8 cup raw honey or maple syrup
- splash of milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender until crumbly.

- Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
Notes
Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate on the top for added decadence.

February 11, 2015 at 12:15 pmI’m with you, I can never have too many ball recipes. I make a batch every Sunday and keep them in the freezer. Each morning I take two out to bring to work for a mid-morning snack. These sound mighty delicious! I made some lemon coconut ones the other day and I’m really loving those, both chocolate is always a winner in my book.

February 12, 2015 at 12:05 pmI do wish you would write a cookbook with all your recipes at some point. It would be the book that I use the most! I love the Chocolate Oatmeal Granola Bars! I love knowing that they are healthy and have no unexpected ingredients in them. I took them to the office and they were a big hit! You make the best snack recipes! Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2015 at 1:23 amI love the ball recipes. They are delicious. In my house they are lovingly called “poo-poo balls”. My kids are very popular at lunchtime with their classmates when there is a poo-poo ball to share.

February 17, 2015 at 2:35 pmTerd balls… sounds just like my hubby! I love the addition of Cashews, never seen that one in a recipe. I love cashews and dates, so this recipe will be made soon!
Maryea says
February 17, 2015 at 3:24 pmI hope you love it, Rachel! Thanks. 🙂
Kella says
August 2, 2017 at 10:03 pmI do not like cashews. Will any nut do?
Maryea says
August 3, 2017 at 10:09 pmYes, you can sub them out. I would try almonds.

Maryea says
