Chocolate balls

Do this

1. Blend the oats briefly with a hand blender or food processor.

2. Melt the butter in a small pan and let it cook for about 1 minute, stirring, until it starts to smell slightly nutty. Take it off the heat and leave to cool.

3. Mix the oats, icing sugar, cocoa, cold coffee, flake salt and cooled browned butter together in a bowl.

4. Place the mixture in the fridge for a little while.

5. Roll into balls, then roll them in coconut or granulated sugar.

The browned butter gives the chocolate balls a lovely rich flavour, and the icing sugar makes them soft and creamy.
