Introduction

Swedish Chocolate Balls (Chokladbollar) are one of the most popular treats in Sweden . Besides being amazingly tasty, they're super easy to make. You can eat them plain, or dress them up for a special occasion.

How to make it:

1. Stir together butter and sugar until well combined. (You can do this by hand with a large spoon.)

2. Add vanilla sugar/vanilla, cocoa powder, and oats and stir until oats are distributed evenly throughout the butter mixture. 

3. Form into balls (about 16) and put on a plate in the refrigerator to set.

4. Optional: While still sticky, roll balls in pearl sugar, coconut, or sprinkles. (Sprinkles aren't traditional Swedish, but they're fun!)

**I use a combination of quick oats and old fashioned. You can make it with all quick oats if you'd like.
