Swedish Chocolate Balls

February 5, 2014

Kids in Sweden understand that the chocolate ball, known as "Chokladbollar", is an amazing treat.

Not only does it taste great, but it can be made by kids too, without the use of knives or hot pans and ovens.  That's right, no baking or cooking needed. Just mix then ingredients, and then roll into balls. What kid wouldn't want that for dessert?

Chokladboll (literally "chocolate ball") is a popular Swedish confectionery. It is a type of fridge cake. Historically, the original name was negerboll (literally "negro ball"). However, nowadays, this older name is deemed controversial due to its association with a potentially racist term.
