Preparation

Step 1

In a deep saucepan combine the following:
1 and 1/2 Sticks of butter or margarine (I use unsalted real butter)
3 Cups of White sugar
1 Can evaporated Milk

Simmer on low heat for approx 5 mins after its started to boil (Turn way down to low to prevent it from bubbling over). After 5 minutes REMOVE from heat and stir in 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract.

In a separate bowl Combine the following:
6 Cups Quick Oats
2 Cups Coconut (Fine Shred)
9 Tbs Cocoa Powder

Pour the boiled sugar mixture in over the oats and combine well. Let sit until cool enough to work with without burning your fingers!

Take a regular sized Marshmallow and 'mold' the mixture all around it. You'll need about 2-3 Tbs of the mixture per cookie. Press and roll to form a ball. Once you have a them formed into balls roll them in coconut to coat. Set in the fridge for a couple hours to cool and set up. Cut them in half once they are set.

Then Enjoy!
