These no-bake chocolate coconut balls are great if you have little time but a big craving for something sweet.

Several nations have their coconut ball recipe, this is how we do it in Hungary:

Ingredients:

  • 18 oz (510 g) “háztartási” biscuits (plain, sweet biscuits)
  • 3,5 oz (100g) sweet butter
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 7 oz (200 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 coffeespoon rum aroma
  • 1 pack shredded coconut
  • canned sour cherry

What I used in America to make these delights (for 4 people):

  • Social tea biscuits
  • confectioners sugar
  • marashino cherrys
  • rum extract imitation
  • 100% pure cocoa
  • Country Crock butter
  • unsweetened shredded coconut

The process:

  • grind the biscuits in a blender until they are like powder, then mix them with the butter, sugar and cocoa powder
