I've been making these popular treats for 40 years, much to my family's delight. They look impressive with chocolate and coconut wrapped around a chewy marshmallow center, yet they're surprisingly simple to assemble. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
3 tablespoons baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 32 squares) |
3-1/2 cups flaked coconut, divided |
32 to 35 large marshmallows |
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the butter, milk, cocoa and vanilla. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in cracker crumbs and 1-1/2 cups coconut. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
3. Using moistened hands, wrap about 1 tablespoon of mixture around each marshmallow (dip hands in water often to prevent sticking). Roll in remaining coconut; place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and freeze until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. May be frozen for up to 2 months. Yield: about 3 dozen.
