Really is a simple but a little messy to make.
Beating the ingredients till smooth and whipped looking will make this less sugary, make sure you beat all ingredients until fluffy looking.
1/3 cup butter
3 tablespoons coconut rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 package dry dreamwhip mix
3 cups finely ground coconut put in food processor
2 cup semi sweet chocolate
Preparation
Melt butter that is at room temperature till fluffy. Stir in 3 tablespoons rum and vanilla.
Combine powdered sugar and whipped dreamwhip topping package (you can also substitute nonfat dry milk powder) beat in 1/2 cup at a time into butter mixture until smooth and fluffy. Stir in processed coconut. Drop by teaspoon into 1-inch balls, and place on ungreased baking sheets, freeze 20 minutes. You can now try and shape to round balls while frozen they are less sticky.
Melt chocolate microwave dip balls using two forks quickly then transfer to wax paper to dry . Store on cookie sheet in refrigerator till firm place into paper candy cups.
Oh how perfect these are! Beautiful display Claudia!
ReplyDeleteOmg, yum. Seriously, I would totally buy these, they are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful to look at. All that chocolatey goodness with melt-in-your mouth white coconut inside. They would last five minutes here. The step-by-step is very helpful.
