These have been created to save mothers everywhere. I’m being serious, I had no idea how a toddler not listening could drive you to eat lots of chocolate with your tea in your first moment of peace for the day. This is my save me from myself plan.
Bliss balls live up to their name as they taste amaze-balls and but don’t send me into the land of chocolate oblivion. These can be eaten as is simply sweetened with dates or you can cover with maple syrup and chocolate mix for extra indulgence. The adults of the house liked the non chocolate version, the toddler likes it with chocolate, situation normal.
The same toddler that sends me to the chocolate corner spiked his hair in the bath whilst I was washing it and said look mom it’s like the top of a cupcake. Love.
