SWEDISH CHOCOLATE BALLS (CHOKLADBOLLAR)
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.

Steps:
- Mix oats, sugar, vanilla sugar, and cocoa in a large bowl.
- Using your hands or a potato masher, incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until the dough has an even consistency.
- Add the coffee and mix until incorporated.
- Fill a small bowl with flaked coconut.
- With your hands, roll the dough into 3 cm (1 inch) diameter balls.
- Roll each ball in the coconut and place on a tray.
- Chill chocolate balls for at least one hour before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the truffles will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Chill the truffles before rolling them in cocoa powder. This will help the cocoa powder to adhere better and prevent the truffles from becoming too sticky.
- Be careful not to overmix the truffle mixture. Overmixing can make the truffles tough.
- If the truffle mixture is too wet, add more cocoa powder. If the mixture is too dry, add more cream.
- Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
