Cacao Snack Recipe: Bare Bliss Balls

As the Spring starts to come into view, we are finally welcoming the great outdoors back into our lives. Daffodils are popping up, days are getting longer and the weather is warming. Naturally as our energy rises with the Spring sunshine we feel the call to be “doing” again. Our winter hibernation is well and truly coming to an end.
