COCONUT JOYS
This originally comes from one of the Southern Living Christmas Family Favorites. I like mine a lot smaller than in the original recipe and I use a lot more chocolate! I make these almost every Christmas I make cookies to give out!

Steps:
- Melt the butter in large pot over low heat. Take the pot off the heat.
- Stir in sugar and coconut.
- Shape into 3/4-inch balls and place on a large cookie sheet or sheet pan.
- Submerge chocolate morsels bag in simmering hot water until melted, about 5 minutes. Snip a tiny piece off one corner of the bag. Drizzle chocolate over the joys.
- Chill on cookie sheet until balls are firm and chocolate is set before storing in bags or serving.
- In general, try to store these in the refrigerator. I am okay with them out of fridge in gift boxes for a while though.
