Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the powdered sugar and coconut. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Roll the coconut mixture into balls a tablespoon at a time. Place on aluminum foil or waxed paper. Make a thumbprint indentation in the center of each ball.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave, stirring every 25-30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Spoon a bit of the melted chocolate into the indentations of each coconut mound. Let cool completely.

Notes

I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can definitely use dark chocolate for a more authentic taste. You could also cover the coconut mounds completely with chocolate if you have the patience. It’s not hard, it just will take a little longer than the above method.
