The widely popular Swedish chocolate ball, “Chokladboll”, is an essential part of most fika routines. Of course, finding the chocolate ball here in the United States might be difficult. So why not just make your own? And why not with a healthy twist while you’re at it?

A perfect way to start off your year eating healthier, before you abandon that new year’s resolution entirely for the upcoming semla season.
