Ingredients
- 2 tsp. butter
- 3 T. water
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 C. sifted powdered sugar
- 1/2 C. nonfat dry milk powder
- 7 oz. package flaked coconut(2 2/3 C.)
- 6 oz. package semisweet chocolate pieces (1 C.)
- 1 tsp. shortening
Preparation
Step 1
1. In medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in water and vanilla.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk powder. Stir into the butter mixture till combined. Add coconut, stirring till coated.
3. Drop by small teaspoonfuls onto a wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Chill for 15 minutes. Top with candied cherries, if you like.
4. Melt chocolate and shortening over very low heat. Cool slightly. Drizzle over candies. Chill 20 minutes more till firm.
Note: To make drizzling with chocolate easier, put the melted chocolate mixture in a plastic bag. Snip off a corner of the bag and drizzle chocolate through the hole. For a lighter chocolate coating, melt only half of the chocolate chips and shortening.
