Coconut Haystacks image

Originally from my Mom's 1963 Betty Crocker Cooky recipe book as Chocolate Yummies but many revisions later this is a family favorite at Christmas time. This year my Granadson said, "We need this recipe so Mommy can makes these" and he doesn't even like coconut!

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces nestle semisweet chocolate morsels

1 cup regular oats

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate morsels,butter and marshmallows in large pan/double boiler, stir constantly till smooth. Be careful not to let burn. I cook on my simmer burner on gas and never had a problem with burning.

  • Add in vanilla, coconut and oats, mix thoroughly.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls or your size preference onto large cookie sheet covered with wax paper.
