• Servings: 18 servings
• Preparation Time: 45 minutes + standing
• 2 cups nonfat dry milk powder
• 1 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces white candy coating, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 3 cups flaked coconut
• Assorted food coloring, optional

1. In a large bowl, combine the milk powder, peanut butter, honey and vanilla.
3. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Let stand, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating and shortening at 70% power for 1-2 minutes; stir until smooth. If desired, tint some of the candy coating with food coloring. Dip balls into coating, then roll in coconut. Return to baking sheet; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

I like to make these coconut-covered balls when the snow is flying around. I've shared the candies with many of my friends and family members, and everyone loves them.
