One of Adelaide’s most iconic bakeries, Perryman’s Bakery, is turning 100 – and they’re marking the milestone with a community Family Day Party at its Tynte Street store on Saturday, 11 October 2025. To celebrate, we’ve taste-tested the best of Perryman’s treats for kiddos and here are the tastiest top 5!

Ingredients 15 Medjool dates, pitted 1/2 cup natural peanut butter 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/4 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup cocoa 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips Decorations 1 metre black liquorice rope 16 tic tacs, halved chocolate Persian Fairy floss Method Place dates, peanut butter, vanilla, oats, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, cocoa and chocolate chips together in a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Using a tablespoon as a measure, roll mixture into 16 balls and set aside until required. For the decorations, cut liquorice into 16 x 5cm long pieces and using a sharp knife cut each piece into 8 legs. Push 4 liquorice legs into each side of energy ball and press 2 halved tic tacs on the front for eyes. Repeat process with remaining balls. Serve spider energy balls on a plate covered in Persian fairy floss.
