COCONUT JOYS



Coconut Joys image

This originally comes from one of the Southern Living Christmas Family Favorites. I like mine a lot smaller than in the original recipe and I use a lot more chocolate! I make these almost every Christmas I make cookies to give out!

Time 43m

2/3 cup semisweet chocolate morsel

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in large pot over low heat. Take the pot off the heat.
  • Stir in sugar and coconut.

We always made these for our Christmas Cookie plates. They are similar to the popular Mounds candy but the unsweetened chocolate gives it a bit more kick. You'll want to use REAL butter and not margarine or chefs spread and the quantity of candies you get will depend on how large you make them.

Coconut (Almond) Joys image

These do not look like Mounds or Almond Joys, but the taste is very similar. I make these every Christmas along with my cookies and they are very easy and quick to make. They are very pretty on a tray when placed in decorated mini muffin liners.
