Chocolate Coconut Candies image

These coconut candy balls disappear just as fast as I put them out. They're a snap to whip up and make a beautiful presentation on any holiday cookie plate. I mound them high and sprinkle with coconut...then watch them vanish! -Mary Ann Marino, West Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these candies. The chocolate coating is perfect and the coconut is not too overpowering.
