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.

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the dates and nuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of coconut milk or water. If it's too wet, add a little more coconut flour or oats.
  • If you want to make the balls even more decadent, you can dip them in melted chocolate or white chocolate.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

These Swedish chocolate balls, also known as coconut balls, are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With their rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture, these balls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
