Swedish Chocolate Balls (or Coconut Balls) image

This is a classic Swedish recipe, beloved by every Swede. It is one of the first things children learn to make, and it's enjoyed greatly by all ages. The balls can either be bite-sized or giant, whichever seems more appealing. Or make one big ball, and many small ones. Additional cocoa powder or chocolate can be added to intensify the flavor.

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups regular rolled oats
1 ¼ cups white sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
