For the chocolate loving Swede, these are childhood memories, in the form of a coconut or pearl sugar covered ball. They are easy and messy to make, perfect for anybody over the age of 4. You have to use a mixer, unless you are seriously into self-flagellation or need a forearm workout.
Ingrédients :
100 g Butter (Not too cold, but absolutely no soft),
3 dl Caster sugar,
3 dl Oats of any kind,
3 tbsp Cocoa,
3 tbsp cold, strong coffee/Bailey’s/Arrac… whatever you wish,
1 tbsp Vanilla sugar,
Pearlsugar, desiccated coconut, sprinkles, finely chopped nuts or sesame seeds to roll them in.
Mix all until it’s a homogenous batter.
Roll small (think one bite) balls with slightly damp hands and roll in the covering of your choice.
Keep in a cold place.
They’ll keep until at least the best before date of your butter!
They look very pretty in a cellophane bag, with a bow, to go with the nice card you got your Valentine. Or in a pretty box.
As before mentioned, it’s pretty messy, which is why I have (girl) friends who will forego the whole rolling bit, and just eat the mixture straight out of the bowl. With a spoon of course, so not to get their hands dirty!
Enjoy !
