Diwali Bliss Balls
Diwali, also known as Deepawali, is the festival of lights that is celebrated once a year in the Hindu calendar. For everyone that celebrates it means the beginning of new year with the victory of good over evil. Lamps, candles and fireworks illuminate this festival as it is the one day in the year when the moon isn’t sighted in the Hindu calendar.
Friends and family come together and celebrate with sweets & gift exchanges, festive meals and abundance of treats. Sweets are a big part of Diwali festival as it signifies gratitude, acknowledgement and the joy of celebration with your loved ones. To get into the festive cheer, try these delicious coconut Diwali bliss balls. We bet you'd want more than just one!
