COCONUT COCOA BALLS

Sweet and dense, these no-bake cookie balls are worth every darn calorie. If you love coconut and chocolate, these are for you. They have a nice chocolate flavor and the coconut coating is the perfect complement. Once they're chilled, they have the perfect texture and a slight rum flavor comes through. It's like a rum ball without the harsh alcohol flavor. A beautiful addition to a dessert tray during the holidays.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup(s) soft butter, good quality
½ cup(s) baking cocoa
1 1/2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
3 cup(s) oats, regular
1 tablespoon(s) half and half
1-2 teaspoon(s) rum extract or more - add a little of the time to match your own tasting.
1 cup(s) coconut, shredded

Steps:

  • Mix butter with dry ingredients - NOT the coconut.
  • Add half and half.
  • Add 1/2 Tbsp rum extract at the time and taste. Add only the amount of extract that suits your taste. The mixture must be slightly sticky. Note, that various brands of rum extract have different strengths. I prefer Oetker's.
  • Roll in bite-size balls.
  • Cover with coconut.
  • Keep in fridge.
