Coconut Joys
If you like coconut, you’ll love these no-bake, no-fuss sweets. They are cute as can be and make a satisfying after-school snack to keep in the fridge. —Flo Burtnett, North Gage, Oklahoma

I first saw this recipe in the 90's on a bag of C&H Confectioners sugar. Still have that little piece of plastic. Their recipe used 3 cups of coconut, 2 cups of PSugar, 1 stick of butter and unsweetened chocolate. They are sweet and the unsweetened chocolate is a great foil for that. I make these every Christmas and they always go fast.
I rolled them into about 24 balls and dipped them in dark chocolate. No nuts this time. We really like them!
I needed cookie recipes with no eggs-grandson is highly allergic; this came up on first search. I doubled the pecans and chopped in food processor then blended into cookies. My family loved this special treat on Christmas Day.

Excellent recipe, although we did take some liberties with the recipe. For the chocolate we just pushed a chocolate chip into the center of each candy and omitted the nuts. I will never buy another Mounds candy bar again. These just explode with flavor in your mouth. They are best if you let them come to room temperature before eating.
Very good, Very rich! A little greasy, we will see how they are after they set. I doubled the recipe and it made 24. I used sliced almonds instead of pecans and semi-sweet choc chips for the chocolate. Very fast and easy!
So easy! everyone raved over it at church. The only draw back was it made so little I quadrupled it. I also changed the pecans for almonds because I like almond joy and that is what it tasted like. But the possibilities are many.
This is a great, quick, yummy recipe! I knew when I saw it I would have to try it. I really like Almond Joys, so I just pressed 1 or 2 whole almonds on top and swirled a bit of chocolate on top. It is so nice that these are so simple to make and needs only a few ingredients. This will be a keeper for sure!
