What makes them Swedish?

I mean I assumed they were a sweet dish

jeena@piefed.jeena.net · 5 pts · 1y (6 replies)

I guess the oatmeal, but I have not seen it in any other country than Sweden.

We have them in Denmark as well. They are called havregrynskugler (oatmeal balls).

Trying to remember what oatmeal is, but maybe those chocolate balls can be compared to Brazilian "brigadeiro" candies?

They're actually quite different from brigadeiros! Swedish chokladbollar are oat-based with butter, while brigadeiros are made with condensed milk and cooked down. The texture is completley different - brigadeiros are more fudgy and chewy, while these are more firm and grainy from the oats. Both delicious in their own way though!

Oooooooh

Thanks for the explanation, and now I'm interested in trying - hopefully I can find recipes easily

Looking good! They are best with coconut flakes like that.

Hell naw, pearl sugar is the way to go

actionjbone@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 1y

Ah yes, the coconut, native to Sweden.

(But seriously that looks delicious)

Those look similar to, but not the same as Canadian Macaroons (not to be confused with French Macarons. "roons")

Coconut, Chocolate, Balls! Though often macaroons are little "heap" shapes.

Yummmm! Thanks for sharing! 😊 Do you use powdered sugar or white sugar?

jeena@piefed.jeena.net · 2 pts · 1y

Just regular sugar
