Chocolate Coconut Snowballs

This is such a sweet treat and requires absolutely NO baking. I would beg my mother to make these coconut cookies during the holidays. They were my favorite cookie as a little girl and that hasn’t changed over the years. Coconut topped with dark chocolate, they are the best. Chocolate Coconut Snowballs also keep well and can be made weeks ahead of the holidays. 

A dollop of dark chocolate on top of a sweet little no-bake ball of coconut makes a delightfully simple holiday cookie. These Chocolate Coconut Snowballs are sure to become a family favorite, as they are in my house.
