NO COOK COCOA BALLS - CHOCKLADBULLAR



No Cook Cocoa Balls - Chockladbullar image

Posted for ZWT6 - Scandinavian Region. I found this on scandinavianfoods.com and thought what a terrific recipe to make with the kids or when you don't feel like heating up the kitchen. Pearl sugar is like large granulated sugar - or very coarse sugar. A good replacement is to coarsely chop sugar cubes if you can't find this in your locale. This recipe gives two options - one using orange juice or the other using cold brewed coffee - I think both options are great choices!
