Brown the Butter

- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
Shape the Balls
- Once chilled, roll the dough into small balls.
Coat and Chill Again
- Roll the balls in desiccated coconut until evenly coated.
- Chill the chocolate balls in the refrigerator until firm.
Notes
- For a finer texture, grind the oatmeal in a food processor.
- Adjust the amount of sea salt to your preference for a perfect balance of sweet and salty.
