Chokladbollar Vår Kok Bok
1/3 c. sugar
1 1/4 c. oatmeal, quick-cooking
3 T. cocoa
4 T. margarine or butter, soft
3 T. milk, coffee or espresso (cold)
(1 T. vanilla extract or 1/3 c. raisons, optional)
garnish: 1/3 c. oatmeal, cocoa krispies, or sesame seeds
Mix all ingredients except the garnish in a bowl. Mix well and chill.
Place the garnish on a plate or shallow bowl so that the balls can be rolled in it. Toast the oatmeal or sesame seeds until they are a golden brown. Place them in a clean frying pan and stir the entire time with a wooden spoon.
Form the mixture into balls and roll in the garnish. Keep cold.
Schenström family secrets: 1) do NOT melt the butter, no matter how much you want chokladbollar now! 2) Forget the balls. Eat it all directly from the bowl with a wooden spoon. :)
