GRAM'S CANDY COCONUT EASTER EGGS (OR BON BONS)

GRAM'S CANDY COCONUT EASTER EGGS (OR BON BONS)

1 bag (4 cups) coconut

1 can (14 oz) sweetened, condensed milk

2 boxes gelatin mix (jello) in your favorite flavor

1 1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients until the coconut has absorbed the gelatin mixture.

Be sure to taste the mixture to see if the gelatin still has a "grainy"

taste. If so, keep mixing until that grainy taste is gone.

Shape the mixture into eggs with your hands. A good tip is to wash your

hands after every 3rd egg or so. The mix will stick to your hands and it

will be hard to shape unless your hands are clean.

Chill for a few hours (overnight is best) on waxed paper.

Dip into melted semi-sweet chocolate and place on waxed paper.

Tip: I use a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper. This recipe will

make about 12 - 15 eggs about 1-2 inches long.

This recipe was passed down from my Mom's Mom and Grandmother to me. We

try to make it every Easter! When my dog ate my cookbook where the

recipe was attached (true story) I thought it was lost forever! A Google

search turned up nothing! Thankfully, my Mom was able to retrieve it

from her old recipe cards and I'm happy to share it with you! Enjoy.
