Mmmmmmmmm - I like the combination of coffee/cocoa/peanut butter! I'll give this a try!

Variation

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">This is a variation of a recipe that we used to have a long time ago.  Although, we didn't use coffee in our version.  I think we used half a can of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup.  But I do think the coffee ones are better </span>

Oh, chokladbullar or cocosbullar! Swedish treats good! Mmmm....

(how funny, just seeing the thread name got me onto thinking about those and lo and behold it's them here!)

I have the IKEA recipe card which has a mistake in it.

So what I'm trying to figure out is if these are the same recipe as the ones in Sweden which get brown sprinkles or if those have a different name?

Variations

I was wondering how many different variations to this recipe are out there. I'd love a version with less sugar in them. Perhaps substituting half the sugar for marshmallows or something similar,
