1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon sugar
6 tablespoons (~100 g) butter
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla sugar (if you don't have it, use regular sugar and add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1 tablespoon cold coffee
3/4 to 1 cup rolled or quick-cooking oats
Some unsweetened coconut flakes
Some pearl sugar
Mix all ingredients, except the oats, together in a mixing bowl either by hand or with a wooden spoon. Add just enough oats to the mixture to allow you to form it into balls. Form the paste into 1.5-inch balls and roll them in either the coconut flakes or pearl sugar. Store the balls in a lidded container in the freezer. They're best eaten slightly thawed but still very cold.
* you can also dip balls in melted chocolate and decorate them:
