What's the secret ingredient in these dipped balls? Mashed potatoes! The spuds create the creamy texture, while coconut and chocolate chips figure big in the flavor. Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups flaked coconut |
2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/3 cup mashed potatoes (prepared without milk and butter) |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon shortening |
chopped walnuts, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine coconut, sugar and mashed potatoes; mix well. Roll into 1-in. balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. In a microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip the balls into chocolate and then walnuts if desired. Return to waxed paper until chocolate is set. Yield: about 4 dozen.
