With this recipe the chocolate balls almost taste like the the ones you find in the cafes. If you prefer a more adult version you can add some whiskey or cognac. For children you can add some chocolate powder like o'boy.
If you go to a Swedish Coffee shop you most probably will find this traditionally Swedish coffee bread. It is made of almond paste bottom, have a chocolate filling, and then dipped in chocolate. If you have an urge for chocolate and like sweet cookies this is the number one choice to make. The best part is that it is easy and fast to do, and will impress your guests.
A homemade chocolate cake made with real chocolate and cacao powder is always appreciated. This one is soft and a bit sticky in the middle and both adults and children will like it.
