No-Bake Loaded Mocha Balls

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground coffee (fine grind)
• 2 teaspoons dark cacao powder

• 1/4 cup additional coconut set aside for rolling (optional)

1. Add all ingredients (except for the extra 1/4 c. coconut) to a bowl and use a fork to mix together thoroughly.
2. With slightly damp hands, shape mixture into 1.5 - 2 inch balls.
3. Roll each ball in a shallow dish filled with shredded coconut to coat. (if desired).
4. Cover and chill mocha balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Keep extras stored in the fridge until enjoying.
