Nut free Christmas bliss balls with goji berries

What’s the oldest thing you’ve ever found in your pantry? I remember once when we were at my grandpa’s we found a tube of condensed milk that was older than I was.

I can’t talk though.

The first time I made these nut free Christmas bliss balls, they were meant to be the classic Christmas combination of chocolate and cranberries.

Before I did the shopping I scanned the pantry – almost-full packet of cranberries – check.

Out came all the ingredients and I had a quick peek at the used by date on the cranberries – 2011. It was 2018!

I don’t think I would have even been buying dried cranberries back them. I clearly wasn’t too taken with them if they’d sat there that long.

I squeezed my brain for an alternative to avoid the shops and out jumped the goji berries.

They give the balls their necessary Christmas colouring with the added bonus of antioxidants.

I processed mine pretty small because they’re quite chewy but if you wanted them softer, you could soak them in boiling water for a few minutes before chopping them (or feel free to use cranberries but I’d stick with goji).

They make the perfect healthy snack or I think you could call them guilt-free rum balls.

You know what? You could even add a nip of rum to the mixture. I think it would perfectly complement the flavours.

Wrap them up and there’s your Secret Santa sorted.

You’re welcome. Enjoy!
