Making these adorable bites gave me so much joy. Cooking from plant based ingredients is a delightful, amazing experience, especially knowing all the wellness there is in each bite. These recipes are an inspiration for you to make them your own, simply by adding your favorite seeds, fruits, and flavors. It’s an enjoyable foodie adventure game, adding a few spoons of this and that, tasting and finding love inside each one. The kind of love you want to eat: intense, sweet, spicy, delicate, fun…
It’s something great to do with your friends at the kitchen table, or to teach kids about raw cooking, or even at a children’s party with plant-based cooking theme. I know I will continue experimenting with these bites, adding more recipes ideas and finding new flavors because it opened up big universe of ideas for me. Or even place them in a nice box and they’re a wonderful gift to take to a friend.

Method
1. Prepare a few plastic bags with different coating for the bonbons. I have prepared 5 different varieties. Red – A bag filled with 3 tablespoons of crushed dry raspberries for the red coating. Green colour – a bag filled with 3 tablespoons of coconut flakes and a few droplets of green food colour. Violet – a bag filled with three tablespoons of coconut flakes and a few droplets of violet food colour. Dark golden – a bag filled with three tablespoons of dark sesame seeds and ¼ teaspoon of edible golden dust. Light golden – a bag filled with three tablespoons of white sesame seeds and ¼ teaspoon of edible golden dust. Shake all bags to create an even colour.
2. For each variety of raw vegan bonbons place the listed ingredients in a blender and pulls until smooth. Roll the bolls with your hands and place each one in one of the coating bags. Shake for a few minutes so an even colour coating appears on the bonbon and take out. Repeat until all bonbons are done.
3. Place in the fridge overnight. Serve.
