- Peppermint extract -
- Oats - use jumbo or rolled oats.

Step 4: Add the remaining ingredients

Notes
Dates: If you buy pitted dates, there is a slight chance a stone fragment is left inside. It's worth checking every date as this happened to me, and I almost broke a tooth!
Storage: Keep the bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
