MOUNDS BALLS
I make these bite-sized treats as gifts for friends-and I get lots of thank-you notes in return. The mailman doesn't mind delivering them, though. He gets a box of candy, too! We have three generations of family working together on our dairy farm in the "thumb" of Michigan. Everyone agrees these milky morsels promote our product deliciously. -Kathy Dorman, Snover, Michigan

Steps:
- 1. Empty coconut into a large bowl, add Karo syrup (enough to make it gooey, it will snap crackle and pop like rice krispies when you have enough) It needs to be able to be shaped into a ball and hold its shape. If you get too much syrup..just add a little more coconut, the ingredients are not an exact science. Mix well with a spoon.GREASE HANDS WELL WITH BUTTER, FREQUENTLY...YOU WILL HAVE TO WASH THE COCONUT OFF OF YOUR HANDS BEFORE EACH BUTTERING.
- 2. Roll into balls one at a time and drop each ball as its rolled into the following: 1 bag of melted semi sweet chocolate chips with 1/3 of a bar of gulfwax melted together. I do this in a double boiler. As you roll each ball, drop it into the melted chocolate for coating,lay each ball onto wax paper that covers a cookie sheet. When the sheet is full, pop into the freezer for a few minutes to set the chocolate. When the chocolate is hardened enough to remove from the wax paper, do so and store the balls in a cookie tin. Layering with wax paper between each row.
Tips:
- Use high-quality semisweet chocolate for the best flavor. Using a chocolate with a higher cocoa content will result in a richer, more intense flavor.
- Make sure the coconut is finely shredded. This will help the balls hold together better.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready.
- If the chocolate is too thick to dip the balls, you can thin it out with a little bit of coconut oil or vegetable oil.
- Be patient when dipping the balls. It takes a little time to get the hang of it, but with practice, you'll be able to get them coated evenly.
- Store the balls in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Mounds balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or with nuts, fruit, or other add-ins, Mounds balls are sure to be a hit.
