Nomnom, Jenn! These look super yummy, I love coconut and chocolate - put them together and you're winning! 💚🥥🍫💚

These things are stupid addictive lol. SO GOOD! 😄

These sound like a mound bar and i bet you could add a couple almonds and make them almond joys too

[@letssummondinner]

Yes you can! I have done that before with basically the same filling just made thicker so it would hold its shape. The taste is spot on!

[@CharlotteBrackeen]

Yes i just add almonds

[@letssummondinner]

They are fantastic with almonds too!

[@letssummondinner]

Awesome! I hope you both enjoy them!! 🥰

[@marymasiakowski5042]

I mix chocolate chips with the melting wafers and coconut oil. You'll get a really good chocolate taste. I also will only use Ghirardelli during the Christmas season. It's a special time of year. I have bad arthritis and would never give up my Danish whisk. It's a real-life saver.

[@letssummondinner]

I never thought about mixing the two, thank you. I will have to try that next time. Normally Ghirardelli would be out of my budget but I got lucky and found two huge bags at the mennonite store lol. I agree about the whisk, when my hands hurt it makes things so much easier.

[@lindab2144]

These look delicious. Have you ever toasted the coconut to give it a deeper flavor? I bought one of the really small crock pots at Wally's. It works perfect on low for melting the dipping choc. Thanks for sharing.

[@letssummondinner]

Great idea! I used to have a small crockpot but lost it in a move lol. That is brilliant! I haven't tried toasting the coconut but now I may have to 😁

You can also use chopsticks to dip your candies in the chocolate! You might have to dab a bit of chocolate on small spots but that's what I used until I found that taking a piece of sturdy wire and bending on one end to make a small circle the size I needed to dip my candies with! It worked! I wanted to say that I absolutely love this Recipe! Coconut Cream Balls are one of my Favorites! Dab dry some cut up Maraschino Cherry halves to the mix and they are Heavenly! Thank you for the Recipe! I had to come back to tell you how delicious it is with adding the Cherries! I also added some Lemon Flavoring instead of Vanilla and Sprinkled Lemon Zest on top the White Chocolate instead of Salt to switch it up! Amazingly Delicious! Switch up you Candies and experiment with them like I did. You'll be Amazed! Bites of Heaven is what I call them! Thank you again for the Recipe! Merry Christmas! 🎄🍭🎄 God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤

[@letssummondinner]

I love it when people take a recipe and make it their own! All of those varieties sound delicious! I actually had a friend tell me about the wire trick. Seems easy enough lol. Thanks for watching and giving me feedback. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

[@TZ2OurLittleDogToo]

I just found a new-to-me thing: sweetened condensed COCONUT milk! These would be great using that in place of the regular sweetened condensed milk if you are want extra coconut flavor or are looking for a plant-based option. (Plant based chocolate exists, too)

[@letssummondinner]

Oh, that's a great idea! I didn’t even know such a thing existed lol. I have a family member who is dairy free so this is BRILLIANT! Thank you!

[@prairiestorm5045]

Yum yum yum!

[@letssummondinner]

Big, big yum! Lol 😂

[@fightinfetus]

Looks yummy! I would just drop a few in at a time to coat, and fish them out with the fork or slotted spoon, or as one commenter here said, with a plastic fork with the 2 center tines missing, and just adding a quantity of them to the chocolate at a rate to keep the centers cool enough and the chocolate warm enough. It would go faster. The fleur de sel is the perfect touch; I use it every day. I've dispensed with table salt ages ago. One can grind down Kosher salt when a lot is needed, but fleur de sel is just nicer. I also nearly powder some of it for finishing, I love the way it just dissolves onto warm food and leaves no texture, no crunch, just lovely flavor.

[@letssummondinner]

I love Fleur de Sel. It's soooo good on a steak lol. I will def be trying the plastic fork trick next time. I always get the best ideas from the comment section lol.

[@lucihedley5568]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have been using a disposal plastic fork which I have cut off the two inner tines. So far this Christmas, with all my sweet treat gift making, it has worked well. The chocolate falls off and I can scrape the balls without scrapping the chocolate off the bottom. Now if I could do something about the heat here in Queensland Australia, I wouldn't have a storage problem. Happy holiday period and stay safe. Lucioff

[@letssummondinner]

That is a great tip I will have to give that a try next time! Even though its freezing cold here we still store these candies in the refrigerator (not that they ever last long lol). Happy Holidays!

[@lucihedley5568]

Thank you for getting back to me, it was nice to get a reply. I am going to make these on Friday, when my stepdaughter will be here to help dip. We have family coming up from the city for Christmas. Stay safe Luci Qld, Australia

This is called Martha Washington Candy. My mother made it every Christmas and the recipe was handed down through generations. It's always been my favorite! She would sometimes add about a cup of crushed pecans to it but not very often because it can be costly to make. It's a very delicious and rich candy. I'm excited to see you sharing this! Merry Christmas!

If you are someone who doesn't want to use oil on your hands to roll these into balls you can actually use cold water on your hands by putting a cold bowl of water close to your cooking space and wet your hands every couple of pieces of the coconut mixture. I've done this before and it worked really well. I don't care for any kind of oil on my candy

[@gapch4047]

In the early 70's, someone I worked with brought me a recipe for "chocolate covered cherries." My son is very happy when I make these! The recipe I have also uses finely chopped pecans. The filling was wrapped around a half of a cherry. The chocolate dip consists of chocolate chips & a block of paraffin! It didn't taste funny or anything. I don't know if the melting wafers were around back then or not. I just followed the recipe.
