desiccated coconut, for coating |
Directions:
1. Blend butter, sugar, coffee and almond extract (in a blender/food processor).
2. In a big bowl combine rolled oats, cocoa and vanilla. Mix will.
3. Add butter mixture and knead with hands.
4. Shape into walnut sizes balls and roll in dessicated coconut.
