Weetbix Bliss Balls

When we began our lunchbox journey, my twins weren’t sure about bliss balls. They loved the idea of them but it took some time to get used to the different textures of the raw elements.

I introduced them via a basic Weetbix slice recipe my Nana used to make and turned a childhood favourite into a modern style bliss ball. They are still my twins favourite out of all the “balls” I make and I hope your kids will love them as well!
