• 1 cup shredded coconut
• ⅓ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon water, or more as needed
• 7 ounces marzipan (almond paste)
• 7 ounces chocolate confectioners' coating

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Knead marzipan, coconut, and powdered sugar together in a bowl, adding water if necessary. Shape into 24 balls and freeze on waxed paper for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Chop confectioners' coating and place in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
