Raw "Nutella" Bliss Balls

Nutella was one of my favourite treats before I started my healthy eating journey. I could happily sit with a jar of the rich, chocolatey paste and a spoon. These bliss or energy balls are a much healthier way to satisfy chocolate-hazelnut cravings and taste absolutely delicious!
