Ah yes, the coconut, native to Sweden.

(But seriously that looks delicious)

Those look similar to, but not the same as Canadian Macaroons (not to be confused with French Macarons. “roons”)

Coconut, Chocolate, Balls! Though often macaroons are little “heap” shapes.

Trying to remember what oatmeal is, but maybe those chocolate balls can be compared to Brazilian “brigadeiro” candies?

Thank you for sharing!

We have them in Denmark as well. They are called havregrynskugler (oatmeal balls).

Yummmm! Thanks for sharing! Do you use powdered sugar or white sugar?

Just regular sugar

They’re actually quite different from brigadeiros! Swedish chokladbollar are oat-based with butter, while brigadeiros are made with condensed milk and cooked down. The texture is completley different - brigadeiros are more fudgy and chewy, while these are more firm and grainy from the oats. Both delicious in their own way though!

Nummy nums

Oooooooh

Thanks for the explanation, and now I’m interested in trying - hopefully I can find recipes easily

I put the recipe in a different comment.

Hadn’t noticed. Thanks!
