Swedish Chocolate Balls

Chocolate balls is a favourite recipe that pretty much every child in Sweden know by the age of three, they are really that simple to make. But with their rich cocoa flavour and hint of coffee they're not only suitable for children, but a delicious treat for any adult as well.

If you like them a little more chocolatey, just increase the amount of cocoa powder. Instant coffee is fine, but if you've got proper dark roasted coffee, I'll advise you to use it.

3 dl oats
3,5 tbsp cocoa powder
3,5 tbsp cold black coffee

Mix everything thoroughly, until there are no lumps of butter left. You probably have to get your hands dirty.
Form about 15 balls and roll them in coconut flakes.
Put them in the fridge to harden for an hour.
