These Lemon Balls are one of the treats that I just love love love. Honestly these little bliss bombs are amazing! All natural ingredients, full of nutrients, and the taste is Oh! So! Good!
Plus it only takes minutes to make them from a few simple ingredients, and they keep for weeks, or rather, they are always gone before being anywhere near expiration.
Happy munching!

C = cup, 240 ml
1/2 C = half a cup, 120 ml or / TBSP
1/4 C = quarter of a cup, 60 ml or 4 TBSP
TBSP = table spoon, 15 ml or 3 tsp
tsp = tea spoon, 5 ml
“soft dates” = medjool are usually best. If necessary, soak briefly and drain. The soaking water is super sweet by the way!
