Chunky Chocolate Morsels

Friends far and near ~

Listen up!

These are one of the BEST and YUMMIEST

of the many Christmas treats out there.

My Mum-in-Love faithfully made this recipe

year after year after year.

They were a staple treat at Christmas time.

And, long ago, she graciously shared the recipe with me!

Thank you precious Mum!

Easy.  Simple.  No baking.  

I do believe you will thank me for this.

~ Chunky Chocolate Morsels ~

In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan,
bring the following ingredients to a boil ~

1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup milk (I use whole milk)

Once it's come to a boil,
reduce the heat to medium and cook until thickened.
This will take approximately 5 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and stir in 1 1/2 tsp vanilla.
Let cool a little.
Stir in the following ingredients and mix thoroughly ~

2 cups rolled (or quick cooking) oats
2 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
1 cup coloured mini marshmallows, cut in half with kitchen shears
1 cup chopped pecans (I use soaked and dried)
1/2 cup drained maraschino cherries, chopped

Scrape mixture out of pan and into a medium bowl.
Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
Once cool, roll between your palms to make 1 inch balls.
Roll in coconut and store in fridge or freezer.
Separate layers with parchment or waxed paper.

Enjoy!

With Love,
Camille
