What is "chokladboll"

Chokladboll ("chocolate ball") is a type of unbaked pastry that is a popular Swedish confectionery. The most common term for the treat used to be "negerboll" (" negro ball"), though this term has fallen out of use.

The chokladboll is usually slightly smaller than a golf ball. The chokladboll consists of oatmeal, sugar, vanilla sugar, cocoa, butter, and sometimes a small amount of coffee (some like to mix in a splash of cream to make them creamier and softer), which is mixed to a compact mass. Balls are formed and then rolled in nib sugar, shredded coconut, or sprinkles. Chokladboll can be eaten immediately, but it is usually first chilled in a refrigerator.

Because of its simple recipe, it can be quickly made by anyone and is popular at children's parties and as homemade candy.
