I don't know if anyone would consider this a candy, but they are easy, and the kids love to "help" make them.(They are good too) COCONUT JOYS 1/2 C. Butter or oleo 2 C. powdered sugar 3 C. (8 ounces) Coconut 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted Melt buetter or oleo in large sauce pan. Remove from heat. Add powdered sugar and coconut. MIX WELL. Shape into small balls. Place on wax paper-lined cookie sheet and make an indent in the center of each. Fill centers with melted chocolate Chill. Store in frig. Makes 3 doz. I make the above at Christmas time. I make the next recipe at Easter - Follow the recipe above but add green food coloring to coconut, sugar mixture and MIX WELL. After filling the centers with chocolate place tiny jelly beans in each "nest" (The kids can put the "eggs" (jelly beans) in each nest.) Chill / store in frig.
