Coconut Haystacks

"Originally from my Mom's 1963 Betty Crocker Cooky recipe book as Chocolate Yummies but many revisions later this is a family favorite at Christmas time. This year my Granadson said, "We need this recipe so Mommy can makes these" and he doesn't even like coconut!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Married 31 years. Live in rural area with one old mare and a small herd of Nubian dairy goats. I love cooking old favorites and trying new recipes. Mostly now just cooking for two but still host large groups several times a year. I've collected cookbooks for years when traveling. I have all my Mom and Mother in Laws cookbooks also. I try and write in my cookbooks any changes, when first tried and any other info that my daughter might enjoy later. Alot of my favorite moments center around food, holiday preparation and family time through the years. Recently my daughter has become interested in cooking more and I enjoy her new recipes and creations. My husband doesn't cook but helps in prep as directed and is the man for kitchen clean up.
