Date and coconut balls
If you are anything like me, come 3.30pm you need something to munch on. These nutty balls are just the thing. They will boost your energy level enough to get you through the rest of the day and they make for a healthier alternative than a trek to the snack machine. Makes 10.

added 746 days agoQuick to make and tasted awesome! Can see these will be a good pick-me-up to get through the afternoon slog at work. Tip: you can buy a lot of these ingredients cheaper at bulk bin/asian food stores...
