I like to make these coconut-covered balls when the snow is flying outside. I've shared the candies with many of my friends and family members, an everyone loves them. Ingredients:
2 cups nonfat dry milk powder |
1 cup chunky peanut butter |
1 cup honey |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
8 ounces white candy coating, coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup shortening |
3 cups flaked coconut |
assorted food coloring, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the milk powder, peanut butter, honey and vanilla. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Let stand, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating and shortening at 70% power for 1-2 minutes; stir until smooth. If desired, tint some of the candy coating with food coloring. Dip balls into coating, then roll in coconut. Return to baking sheet; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Yield: 3 dozen.
