A must every holiday (or any time in between). I think this came from a MilNot can, but I am only guessing. I like them fine without the chocolate. Time does not include set times.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup butter (no substitute)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
7 ounces flaked coconut
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy 1 1/2 quart saucepan.
  • Heat until a deep golden brown.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in sugar, milk and vanilla.
  • Add coconut.
  • Drop by teaspoon onto wax paper.
  • Cool (in refrigerator) and shape into cones.
  • Melt chocolate over hot water (or in the microwave).
  • Twirl the bottoms of candies in the chocolate and set on waxed paper.
  • (If you have extra chocolate, twirl the tops too.) Chill until firm.
  • If you know these will have to set out where it is extra warm, you can mix some paraffin in the chocolate to help it stay set.
  • The mix should not be more than one to one.
