SWEDISH CHOCOLATE BALLS (OR COCONUT BALLS)
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.

Steps:
- 1. TOAST ALMONDS IN A SKILLET: Heat nuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until they're golden brown and they give off a rich, toasty fragrance. Watch them closely when using this method as it's easy to burn them. Stir nuts frequently for even toasting. Remove from pan to cool.
- 2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it is melted and smooth when stirred.
- 3. In a medium bowl add the following ingredients:
- 4. Measure 2 ¾ cups of flaked coconut
- 5. Add 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 6. 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 7. ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8. a pinch of salt
- 9. Stir to combine. I use a potato masher . Just a few mashes and the dough-like mixture is ready to form into balls.
- 10. Make the balls by hand, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the balls and insert an almond inside until it is hidden.
- 11. Then roll the balls in the melted chocolate.
- 12. Place the chocolate covered balls on a plate lined with parchment paper in the fridge until chilled, then transfer to an air-tight container to store. Separate layers with wax paper. Keep refrigerated.
- 13. Enjoy!
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor. - If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over low heat until the mixture thickens. - For a chewier texture, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to the mixture. - If you want a more intense coconut flavor, toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the mixture. - For a fun twist, dip the balls in melted white chocolate or dark chocolate. - Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.Conclusion
