In a food processor, pulse the oats into a coarse meal. You want just a little bit of texture, so don’t grind them all the way. If you don’t have a food processor, use the smallest oats you can find, as they are better for the final texture of the chocolate balls.
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla and cream together until well blended; then add the oats and the salt. Using your hands, mix all of the ingredients together.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about a tablespoon for each one. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until fully coated.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or in the freezer for longer periods.
