Recipe for Christmas

I have to admit I don’t help out enough around the kitchen during Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I do a lot of cleaning and some making but maybe not enough actual cooking. Anyway, I would like to share with you one of my favourite Polish deserts.

Chocolate oats balls

Difficulty level: Easy

Time needed: 20 minutes actual making plus 30 minutes waiting.

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons of cocoa
• 250g Milk powder
• 2 cups of oats
• 250g butter
• Cup of sugar
• Coconut shavings

Method

1. Place butter into a pan to melt
2. Whilst butter is melting add sugar and cocoa as well as 1/4 of a cup of water. Keep mixing until coming to a boil and all is a smooth liquid.
3. Place outside or next to an open window for the liquid to cool (around 30 minutes or whenever cool).
4. Once the mixture is cool and had become slightly thicker add oats and mix so that becomes a thick and equally spread paste so that it’s thick enough to roll into balls.
5. Using hands make the paste into small balls and roll them in coconut shavings.
6. Place into fridge for around 30 minutes for them to set.
7. Stuff your face!

I hope you enjoy these mini chocolate balls! Personally I did them without the coconut but that is up to you!

Enjoy and I wish you all a very merry Christmas! May Jesus be born in all of our heats this Christmas!
