Coconut Drops

By Linda Larsen, About.com

This easy candy recipe tastes better than the packaged store bought kind!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flaked coconut
  • 1 Tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1 Tbsp. milk
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

In small bowl, combine coconut, butter and milk. You may need to add more milk if necessary so mixture holds together, depending on the moisture content in the coconut. Form into 1" balls and place on waxed paper.

Melt chocolate chips in microwave on MEDIUM power, stirring every minute. Let cool slightly. Dip coconut balls in chocolate, place on waxed paper. Refrigerate to harden chocolate. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator. Makes about 24 candies
