Last Updated: July 8, 2021

Do you want something yummy, but want it to be easy and quick? Try these yummy chocolate balls. This is a no-bake recipe that's very well-known in Sweden.

Ingredients

100g room-temperature (7 tbsp.) butter
80g (a heaping 1/3 cup) sugar (preferably white, but may be any)
100g (1 cup) rolled oats
6g (1 tbsp.) cocoa powder
2g (1 tsp.) vanilla powder
Drip coffee
Powdered sugar, coconut powder, or oats

Steps

1
Brew the coffee and let it cool before use.
2
Add the butter, sugar, rolled oats, cocoa powder, and vanilla powder into the bowl.
3
Check the coffee to make sure it's not hot, and then pour 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of it into the bowl.
4
Use your hands to knead the bowl's contents into a dough-like mixture. There should not be any clumps of butter when you're done.
5
Take a piece of the dough and roll it until it turns to a ball. Continue with the rest of the dough and make sure they're the same size. If you like, you may try making different shapes with them!
6
Roll the balls in coconut powder, confectioners sugar/pearl sugar or oats (or be creative and use something else).
7
Put the balls in the fridge for a few hours or until they're hard. But that's not necessary if you like them soft and warm. Try them both ways, and pick your favorite!
8
Eat all you want of your new delicious chocolate balls!

Question

Can I make them using cocoa flakes?

Community Answer

You can certainly add cocoa flakes to the recipe for an extra flavor, but if you want to substitute the chocolate with cocoa, that might be a problem.
Question

We I make these without cocoa power?

Community Answer

If you do not have cocoa powder, replace it with melted chocolate and add more oats to thicken it.
