Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 100 grams crushed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 100 grams rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 50 grams shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the crushed nuts, rolled oats, and cocoa powder.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Allow the mixture to cool briefly until it is firm enough to shape but not completely set.
Using your hands, roll tablespoons of the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
If desired, roll the chocolate balls in shredded coconut to coat the outside.
Once all the balls are formed, refrigerate them for at least 1 hour to fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
