Snowballs
1/2 c. butter (no substitutes)
1 can (14oz.) sweetened condensed milk
3 T. baking cocoa
1 t. vanilla extract
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
about 32 squares
3.5 c. flaked coconut, divided
32 large marshmallows (or 36)
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
In a saucepan, combine the butter, milk, cocoa and vanilla.
Cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted and
mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat, stir in cracker
crumbs and 1-1/2 c. coconut.
Let stand until cool enough to handle.
Using moistened hands, wrap about 1 T. of mixture around
each marshmallow(dip hands in water often to prevent sticking.)
Roll in remaining coconut; place on prepared baking sheet.
Cover and freeze until firm.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
May be frozen up to 2 months.
Yield: about 3 dozen.

I've been making these popular treats for 40 years, much to my
family's delight. They look impressive with chocolate and
coconut wraped around a chewy marshmallow center, yet they're
surprisingly simple to assemble.
