Directions:

Mix together all ingredients; chill. Form into 1-inch balls; chill again on waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Dip in a chocolate coating. Chill for another hour.

*original recipe calls for 2 cans or 3/4 of a large bag of coconut. So 2 cup is a guess on my part, based on the size of a bag of coconut.

For Coating: Melt chocolate & shortening over low heat; stirring constantly (use 1 Tbls of shortening for every 6 oz. of chocolate).
