Ingredients
- 175 ml (¾ cup) peanut butter
- 375 ml (1½ cups) quick cooking rolled oats
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) sugar
- 60 ml (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa
- 60 ml (¼ cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped Or any other leftover chocolate, finely chopped
- 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients with a spoon.
- With your hands, shape and roll the mixture into 20 ping-pong-size balls. Tip: Rolling the balls in your hands for a while will warm the peanut butter: it will serve as a “glue” to hold the balls together!
- Set aside on a plate and chill in the fridge until the balls are firm (at least 30 minutes). Variation: You can use chopped raisins or nuts instead of chocolate chips.
