We know from experience that children do not love all 'healthy' foods.
Sometimes we just want simple, easy food to give to children that doesn't cost us (or them) in terms of money, energy and time.
Does such a food exist?! We hear you say.
.... Enter the Bliss Ball.
All of the above, and it is so much fun to make with them!
