I remember standing on a stool to make these chocolate coconut yummies when I was a kid, stirring the chocolate and marshmallows around to melt them. The anticipation of a delicious ball of oats, coconut, and fudgy goodness was too much to bear. And now I can make them with my kids!
Ingredients
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup margarine or butter
16 large marshmallows
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup shredded coconut
2 cups rolled oats
Directions
In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients except the olive oil. Be sure to mix well. It will make a In a double boiler (a metal bowl sitting over a pot of boiling water), melt the chocolate chips, margarine/butter, and marshmallows. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla, coconut, and oats, mix well until thoroughly combined. Squeeze and roll little balls of yummy mixture in your hands and put onto a plate.
Refrigerate the yummies for 30 minutes (or longer), then enjoy. They also freeze well and are great packed in school lunchboxes. I like to have one after lunch myself sometimes too. 🙂
