Sjokoladekuler (Chocolate Balls)

sjokoladekuler

The OH fondly remembers these sweets from his childhood in Norway (when they didn’t have as politically correct a name!) We’re quite fond of them too and they whip up in no time at all. No cooking required.

100g butter
1 dl sugar (about 95g, but reduce if you don’t want them as sweet)
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3 dl porridge oats (about 118g)
3 tbsp strong, cold coffee
sugar or desiccated coconut, to roll

Mix together butter, sugar, cocoa powder, porridge oats and coffee together until well blended. I find using my hands works best. Roll into balls about 2-3 cm in diameter and roll in sugar or coconut. Leave to chill for half an hour in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

I am entering these in December’s Tea Time Treats food bloggers challenge alternately hosted by Lavendar & Lovage and What Kate Baked. This month What Kate Baked is tasking us with the theme of chocolate tea time treats.

Variation:
100g butter
80g caster sugar
3 tbsp cherry flavoured cocoa powder
118g porridge oats
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp milk
coconut or sugar, to roll

I was sent a bag of cherry flavoured cocoa powder by Sugar & Crumbs to sample and thought I’d try it out with this recipe. The cherry flavour is really quite pleasant and works well with this recipe.

    These look lovely! Really delicious, and what with the oats in, you can always convince yourself they are ever so slightly nutritious….

    They look so pretty, like snow over the recently dug garden.
