Chocolate Balls

Another classic Swedish recipe that is very easy and quick, and a definite crowd pleaser. The recipe makes about 20-30 golf-ball sized treats, and can be easily doubled or tripled to make more. But, it's not that healthy of a treat, if you look at the ingredients.



Ingredients:
5 oz butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup coconut shavings
1 1/2 tbs "vanilj socker" [hard to find outside Europe, but 3/4 tbs vanilla extract can be substituted].
4 1/2 tbs cocoa
3 tbs coffee
Extra coconut shavings to coat balls

1. Soften butter and mix with sugar, coffee, cocoa, and vanilla extract.
2. Mix in oats and coconut shavings until mixture is consistent.
3. Pour remaining coconut shavings on a plate, spreading them out over the plate.
4. Take spoonfuls of mix and roll them into golf-ball sized [or slightly smaller] balls.
5. Roll the balls in the coconut shavings, lightly covering the balls.
6. Place them on a tray or plate, and let them cool in the refrigerator for an hour or more before serving.
