Oatmeal Chocolate Balls
Created by Rajani Updated on Nov 09, 2013
Time: 20 mins
Makes: approx 12 balls
Ingredients
1. Oatmeal (quick oats) - 7 tbps
2. Marie biscuits - 7
3. Cashews - 3/4 cup
4. Cocoa powder - 2 tbps
5. Condensed milk - 5-6 tbps
6. Butter - 1tbps
7. Vanilla essence (optional) - few drops
Method
Grind separately oatmeal, biscuits, and cashews and combine them in a bowl. Add cocoa powder, vanilla essence, melted butter and condensed milk and mix everything thoroughly and make balls of the desired size. Decorate the balls by topping them with a cashew and refrigerate them for about 10-15 mins. Oatmeal Chocolate Balls are ready!
Additional information
Refrigeration is optional and they can be eaten immediately as well. The leftover balls can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Variations of this include using all oatmeal instead of Marie biscuits to make it even healthier, but the condensed milk quantity has to be adjusted accordingly because there is no added sugar that the biscuits have. Similarly, cashews can be substituted for almonds.

No, we should not cook it for this dish. If you grind it into a fine powder it will become like any other flour.

To make the balls you would have to wet your palms with water and spoon the mixture and roll. Without wet palms it gets hard to roll. Tried again with all oatmeal today and they were equally good!!!
