Happy Valentines!


“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.” 




Argue as much as you want about the commercial, cynical sides of Valentine's, I can't help enjoying the abundance of flowers and visible love-declarations all around. Whatever you are spending this day/night doing - hope you have a blast, and if you need to satisfy that chocolate-craving, we have a nice little treat for you!

This is one of those simple, fairly quick to make, sweets that are dangerously tempting to make on Monday (or Thursday) evening when my sugar-cravings kick in. Especially since the ingredients are things I normally have at home anyway...



Chokladbollar/Chocolateballs
  • 100g        butter
  • 1dl           sugar
  • 1tsp          vanilla essence
  • 2-3 tbsp    cocoa powder
  • 3dl            oats (porridge oats are fine, but bigger ones are nicer
  • 2-3 tbsp    cold, strong coffee
                          'nib sugar', coconut flakes, or sprinkles


  1. Stir the butter (leave it out until soft, don't melt!)R sugar and the vanilla smoothly.
  2. Mix in the cocoa powder.
  3. Add the oats and coffee
  4. Mix well.
  5. Shape the paste to small round balls and roll the in your chosen sprinkles (read more about nibsugar and other types of sugar in this interesting blog-post)
