We all like a treat at this time of the year, but how can we have something that tastes yummy but that doesn’t spike our blood sugar levels?

When you pop into the supermarket or even your preferred coffee house the treats on display seem to be hyped up by over 100% at this time of the year. How are we supposed to navigate to something healthy but still feels like a treat? 

This is where the Festive Bauble comes into play…

This recipe is super quick to make and so tasty you will want to make it all year round. It has only 5 ingredients, no cooking involved, making and prep time is minimal and they just require a couple of hours in the fridge. If kept in the fridge in an airtight container they will last for several days! (that’s if they aren’t eaten too quickly)

So if you want a treat this festive season then why not try these Christmas Baubles!

Ingredients

•            2 cups of dates (I softened them in water for a couple of hours first)

•            2 tbsp of ground almonds

•            2 tbsp of nut butter (I used Meridian almond butter)

•            2 tbsp of dried cranberries

•            4 tsp of cocoa powder

Method

Blend all the ingredients in a food processor, roll mixture in to small balls and roll in desiccated coconut. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours and keep in the fridge in an airtight container. They will keep for several days but probably won't last very long anyway as they are so delicious!

Enjoy!
