When it comes to bliss balls, I know a lot of them require nuts, but these nut-free passionfruit bliss balls have all the flavour of nutty bliss balls, but are nut free, so safe for school!
They are also gluten free, dairy free and free from fuss. And they go in the FREE-zer so you don't have to worry about making 18 of them and eating within 3 days.
Passionfruit is such an awesome flavour and they are at their best at the end of the Aussie summer- so right now and are full of flavour, bursting with juice and delicious. Sure, you can just eat them as they come, but why not have some fun and use their amazing taste to make something even yummier?
These bliss balls are fudgey and yummy and hold together really well. Without any oats (you wouldn't believe the number of people who have complained about oats in my bliss balls!), they make for the perfect addition to the lunchbox or as an afternoon snack.

Sarah says
Have not seen puffed rice in a bliss ball recipe before. Would oats work in this recipe instead, for those of us who like oats?
Kylie says
I haven't made them with oats, but puffed rice is lighter, so you may need to play around with the quantities.
