When the craving for something sweet struck today, my kids
and I found ourselves without any treats at home. But fear not, for I always
keep baking ingredients stocked in the pantry! So, we embarked on the
delightful adventure of making Swedish chocolate balls together. These delicious
treats require no baking—just your hands and a bit of messy fun with the little
ones!
Ingredients:
2 dl oats
50- 75 g butter
3 tbsp cacao powder
2 tsp vanilla powder
2 tbsp water or instant coffee
1 dl sugar
Sugar pearls, shredded coconut or nuts of your choice for coating
2 dl oats
50- 75 g butter
3 tbsp cacao powder
2 tsp vanilla powder
2 tbsp water or instant coffee
1 dl sugar
Sugar pearls, shredded coconut or nuts of your choice for coating
Method:
1. Begin by combining all the dry ingredients in a bowl, mixing
well.
2. Add the room temperature butter to the bowl, breaking it
into chunks with your hands. Mix everything together until well combined. The
mixture will become greasy and messy, but that's all part of the fun!
3. Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a round ball.
Dip the ball into sugar pearls or your preferred coating, such as shredded
coconut or chopped nuts. In Sweden, coconut is a popular choice for coating,
but feel free to get creative with almond shavings or finely chopped nuts.
These Swedish chocolate balls are a delightful treat that's
easy to make and even more enjoyable to eat. Perfect for satisfying those sweet
cravings, whether you're young or young at heart!
Enjoy!
