Power balls

[Bedlam]

Has anyone tried Tenina's power balls. They are on her web page and they are divine. Using crio bru, ( never heard of it before, maybe she has shares! Good luck if she does) it's wonderful stuff. http://tenina.com/recipes/thermomix-crio-bru-power-balls

Jeninwa - I have made these and they are delicious, I also have bought Crio Bru, drink it most days. Tenina is importing it into Australia.

jaclom - Powerballs are amazing!!!!  Just made some but didn't have enough almonds.  Used 3/4  hazelnuts and 1/4 almond flakes that I dry roasted in a frypan before adding. They are VERY rich (chocolate wise).  I made them for a morning tea Thursday but fear there won't be any left by then!!  Think they should last a while, as there is nothing that would really go off- fruit, nuts, maple syrup, crio...Give these 10/10!!  Thanks Tenina!!! 

SuzieG - Substituted craisins for cherries, used raisins instead of currants and didn't bother roasting the almonds. Easy to make and taste is delicious.  They are very rich, I don't think you'd eat more than one or two at a time. Finally found a good use for my crio as I didn't really like it as a drink.

The power balls look really nice. What is crio bru please? I asked at the health food shop down the road but they had no idea, but then they didn't know what rapadura was either.

Well, I had no idea either, it's 100% cocoa that you can brew like coffee. It tastes a bit like 70% cocoa choc. Apparently has many health benefits and helps reduce appetite,hence my willingness to try. I ordered it from the web site. It's like fine coffee grounds but you can use it in cooking straight from the bag or brew. It like a drink.

I had no idea either, it's brewed cocoa. Apparently has many health benefits and is an appetite suppressant hence my willingness to try. It is similar to coffee grounds although you can use it from the bag in cooking and brew it also. It tastes a little like 70% cocoa choc.

Sorry my first post seemed to time out and I couldn't get it on...but then it magically appeared.

What does it taste like to drink Jen? DD loves hot chocolate type things.

[Bedlam]

Jean, it's a sort of chocolatey taste, very palatable. I am drinking it for the health benefits and drinking it black.  The power balls are even nicer today.

Looks like I'll be making some. Not sure how long they will last here, but that doesn't matter.
