Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add cashews, roasting them for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to brown lightly. Add sesame seeds and roast for an additional minute.

Transfer the roasted nut and seed mixture to a grinder. Pulse until they reach a fine powder consistency.

Chop the dried apricots into smaller pieces for smoother blending.

Blend the chopped apricots into a smooth paste, then mix in the ground mixture of nuts and seeds.

In a large bowl, combine the blended mixture with honey and cinnamon or vanilla extract. Adjust sweetness.

Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into smooth balls. Optionally roll in desiccated coconut.

Store the bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month or freeze for longer storage.
