Chocolate-Covered Snowballs
from Emeril Lagasse's book Every Day's a Party ("Bonbons")
(click here to print)
7 oz. pkg. flaked coconut (2 2/3 cups)
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (fat-free is fine)
1/3 cup confectioner's sugar (half of what the original recipe called for)
1/4 cup sliced almonds, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/4 tsp. vanilla
Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Use a cookie scoop or 2 teaspoons to drop onto a non-stick or parchment lined baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or so or until firm enough to roll into balls. They will have a rustic, shaggy appearance.
Melt 1 1/2 cups of bittersweet chocolate (I like Ghiradelli) for about 2 minutes in the microwave or over a double boiler. Roll each ball into the melted chocolate, using a toothpick to help move them around and a fork to drizzle more chocolate over.
Refrigerate until set but serve at room temperature.
Fa la la la la la la la LOVE!
