    Cacao Nut Balls

    Cacao, nut butter and nuts make up these delicious low carb balls that are my favourite go to snack whenever I need a little pick me up or a special treat. 

    Cacao Nut Balls are very simple to make and is a quick recipe that you can whip together in about 15 minutes.

    Favourite Nuts

    Although these Cacao Nut Balls are coated with hazelnuts and toasted coconut, you can always swap it up with your favourite nuts like ground walnut, pecan or even pistachios would be a nice treat. 

    I have a love of hazelnut, probably for my love of nutella that I don't enjoy any longer 🙁

    When to Make These Cacao Nut Balls...

    These balls only need a handful of ingredients and only 15 minutes of your time.  These are great for a before workout power snack or they go great with my morning coffee for a little pick me up when I didnt get enough sleep. 

    They are so good you just might end up eating them all in one sitting, so be careful to limit yourself to make them last.
