Tips

Switch nuts up for alternatives such as 1 cup almonds, ½ cup cashews, ½ macadamias….. get adventurous with them.  I like cashews and macadamias as gives a smooth texture which goes nice with the cacao/chocolate taste.

You can also add dark chocolate chips if you want to increase the chocolate taste.

Just remember though that the balls are suppose to be healthy so don’t overload with sugary additions 😉

Note

I only recommend the Doterra Essential Oil for this recipe as it is a pure product that has been 3rd party tested.  I do not recommend using any other essential oils, however you can switch it for Orange Essence instead.
