Coconut Joys
"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."

These are the BEST at Christmas! My mom has made these for the past 25 years or so and they go fast! Instead of using the unsweetened chocolate squares, I use the premelted unsweetened chocolate and snip a corner of it off. Less cleanup (which I like!)!!

HI! My name is Ruby and I've been baking for about 10! I was in the Army from 95-01 and that's where I really started! I was a night baker and baked in MASS QUANTITY for the soldiers we were feeding! Well I got out and am now a Civilian Baker in a military Dining Facility. I also Decorate cakes! Which helps out on my son's birthdays!
Besides baking i'm a Dental Assistant. It's called Job Security. lol
