This is an excellent easy-to-make Friday treat and a perfect after-school activity that allows the kids to get their
hands dirty!
What You Will Need:
100 grams butter at room temperature
100 grams sugar
110 grams fine rolled oats
1 tbsp powdered vanilla sugar (if you can’t find this, just use vanilla flavoured normal sugar or simply flavour with
vanilla pod)
3 tbsp cocoa powder
2-3 tbsp water
Decoration: coconut flakes or colourful sugar strands
What To Do:
- Mix the butter (must be room temperature) with sugar to a smooth mix.
- Add the oats, cocoa powder, vanilla sugar (if available) and water. Mix until you have a smooth and sticky chocolate brown mix. (The kids love this part and, not surprisingly, plenty of the mix ends up straight in their mouths…)
- Cover the bottom of a round bowl with coconut flakes or sugar strands (any colour and/or flavour).
- Form little round balls of the mix by rolling it gently between your palms. If the mix is very sticky, let it set in the fridge for a while, or add a bit more rolled oats.
- Roll the balls in the coconut flakes or sugar strands until covered all round.
- Let the finished result rest in the fridge for a couple of hours for best taste. (These yummy treats last for about 3 weeks in the fridge and at least three months in the freezer.)
- Enjoy!
