Chocolate Balls Recipe
|
Chocolate Balls:
In a
bowl, place the butter and sugar. Using a wooden spoon or spatula (or with a
hand mixer), mix until
combined and the mixture is nice and smooth. Stir in the coffee and vanilla extract. Then
stir in the instant espresso powder (if using) and unsweetened cocoa powder. Finally stir in the
rolled oats.
Form into 1 inch (2.5 cm) round
balls (about 23 grams for each ball) and roll the balls in the unsweetened dried coconut.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate until firm,
preferably overnight. The Chocolate Balls can be stored in a covered container
in the refrigerator for about 10 days or they can be frozen.
Makes about 16 - 1
inch (2.5 cm) Chocolate Balls.
