| I remember making a coconut candy in about 1979. I don't remember the specifics but thought it might have been a recipe from a magazine ad calling for sweetened coconut with sweetened condensed milk and rolled into balls. A small indent was made in the top (similar to a thumb print cookie) and the indentation was filled w/ melted chocolate. I seem to remember the chocolate may have been unsweetened and the flavor contrast was terrific.
I don't remember any other ingredients. There was no cooking. It reminded me of Mounds candy bar rather than a macaroon. I wrote to two magazines (Sunset & BHG) asking if the recipe might be in their collection. Neither magazine remembered the recipe which is why I think it might have been from an ad. Can anyone remember this one? Would like to try it again this holiday season. Thank you so much. |

| This must be close (see link) -- it sounds like what you're describing except they dip the balls into the chocolate instead of putting it into an indentation. Good luck -- sounds yummy! |

| Thank you Carol Ann for the message. The recipe does sound similar altho' I still seem to remember the chocolate being unsweetened as strange as that may seem. I may try these too. I love coconut!! Thanks again. |
