Winter holidays have always been about spending time with family for me, and I always associate this with my mom’s Swedish Chocolate Balls. The recipe has been in my family for a long time, and they taste incredible. There’s a certain delicacy to this dessert. The coconut crumbs lightly sprinkled on top and the fulfilling chocolate center make this dessert a cut above the rest. I recommend enjoying this treat with a glass of milk because of its chocolatey nature. The recipe is simple, but the rewards are high. Swedish Chocolate Balls are a treat you don’t want to miss.
