We’ve made these in our family forever and they are fabulous! Brings back great memories, must go make some…..We have often rolled them in flaked coconut or slightly crushed pearl sugar.

The reviews for this recipe hasn’t been great; I haven’t tried it myself – but for a more authentic recipe, please check out and compare with mine. Rightly made, these are indeed delish.

I had high hopes….but they are ridiculously gritty. I added a small amount of cocoa, but the flavor was slightly bitter. I think this sounds like a good idea but this recipe needs revision.

Nice! And easily made gluten-free too. Can’t wait to try these.

I agree with arenee. I also added 1/2 C cocoa based on another site and I softened the butter based on that site. My daughter had fun rolling them, but the flavor wasn’t so great. I also can’t imagine making them as shown in the picture-way too sweet. I rolled some of them more cocoa and others in powdered sugar because I didn’t have any coconut.

As written, these were terrible. But for something called a “chocolate ball” I expected 1 oz of chocolate to 4 CUPS of oats was typo. When I realized it wasn’t working, I looked the recipe up on another site and it used 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder in addition to the ingredients listed here. Also, the recipe doesn’t say how the butter should be prepared so I melted it – the other recipe called for it to be only softened. Finally, the other recipe used powdered sugar which would have been great since mine were a tad gritty. Oh well, at least the cocoa saved them from being inedible! I’ll try again soon!

These look delish, almost like a no bake cookie. . .

This is THE national swedish home made treat!!! I actualla make a quick version once every month when my sweet tooth kicks in (guess when???)

I melt the butter in the micro wawe oven. I substitute the coffee for like half a teaspoon of instant coffee and put all of the dry ingredients in a blender and blitz them.

The above is usually done during a commercial brake on tv.

Then I pour in the butter and bl

You can certainly leave out the coffee. I’m Swedish, so I ought to know. These are childhood classics for sure!
