SWEDISH CHOCOLATE BALLS (CHOKLADBOLLAR)
They say that these Swedish chocolate balls, known as chokladbollar, are the first thing a Swedish child learns to make, and for good reason; they're easy to do, there's no baking required, and mixing the "dough" together makes for a fun activity. They sure beat snacking on a candy bar during the afternoon slump, as the fats and whole grain keep you satisfied much longer, while the coffee and cocoa provide the perfect pick-me-up.

NO COOK COCOA BALLS - CHOCKLADBULLAR
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!

Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily grind the oats into a fine flour.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a blender or a coffee grinder to grind the oats.
- Be sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder for this recipe. If you use sweetened cocoa powder, the cocoa balls will be too sweet.
- If you want a richer chocolate flavor, you can add a tablespoon of melted chocolate to the mixture.
- You can also add other ingredients to the cocoa balls, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or coconut.
- Be sure to chill the cocoa balls for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Store the cocoa balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

These no-cook cocoa balls are a delicious and healthy snack that can be made in just a few minutes.
