👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix the oats, sugar, and cocoa together in a bowl.

Add the butter, and use your hands to mix the ingredients together to make a thick dough.

Mix in the coffee, vanilla, and chocolate until thoroughly blended.

Place the coconut flakes in a small bowl.

Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll between your hands to make small balls, about 1-1/2 inches in diameter.

Roll the balls in the coconut flakes.

Balls are ready to eat, or may be refrigerated 2 hours to become firmer.
