Chocolate Coconut Balls

Features:
    Cuisine:

    My mom and I have been making coconut balls since I was very young, early 80s. We boxed up these and buckeyes, pretzels, breads, and cookies for the staff at my elementary school. We always used a good quality baking/melting chocolate though. I do not want to sound like a food snob, but you can taste the difference when you use chips+shortening versus baking chocolate. The shortening tends to be more soft and oily when set.
