How long do lemon and nut bliss balls last?

Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, they stay fresh for up to 2 weeks . For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months —just thaw before eating.

Can I use a different nut?

Yes! If you don’t have macadamia nuts, try cashews or blanched almonds for a similar texture. Avoid roasted or salted nuts, as they can affect the flavor and moisture.

Are these bliss balls kid-friendly?

Absolutely. They’re naturally sweet , soft, and fun to roll, making them a great snack to involve kids in making—especially around Easter or during school breaks.

Can I make them nut-free?

Yes. Swap the macadamia nuts for sunflower seeds or a mix of oats and coconut flour . The texture will be a bit different, but still delicious and easy to roll.

Can I prep these ahead for Easter or parties?

Definitely. These are great make-ahead snacks . Roll and chill them the day before, and store in the fridge until serving. You can also decorate with pastel coconut for an Easter party platter.

Do I need a food processor?

It’s the easiest tool for getting the right texture, but you can use a high-powered blender in short pulses. Just be careful not to over-blend into nut butter.
