    These are perfect for people who like goodies that are not overly sweet, they have a more earthy and natural taste. The texture in the mouth is quite tacky, so I made the balls quite small to avoid them being sickly and this yielded 20 balls.

    YUM! I made my smaller too as they're quite rich. Beware though, they're addictive! I made them for my boyfriend to take to the gym and I've just polished off three of them!
