How to make:

      Delicious Chocolate Coconut Balls

When I was a kid I used to love making (and eating!) these chocolate coconut balls. My favorite part was crushing the biscuits in a bag with a rolling pin and rolling the chocolate mixture into balls. 

Well, surprise! My kids feel the same way and LOVE making them with me. 

It is so delicious and easy to make and a great activity to do with the kids for nice, good quality time.

By the way - They are also great for birthday parties or even wrapped in a ribbon tied cellophane bag and given as a small appreciation gift :)  

Hope you enjoy!

Crush the biscuits in a plastic bag with a rolling pin into small pieces. Place chocolate and butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until mixture is combined. Remove from heat. Add in the remaining ingredients, including the crumbled biscuits and mix. Let chill in the fridge for an hour. 

Using damp hands, roll the mixture into balls:

Roll the balls through the shredded coconut to coat:
