These are a must have for your holiday baking! Double chocolate coconut cherry balls are so decadent! Your guests and family will love them!
These are so easy to make, even the kids can help! My kids love helping with Christmas baking. It’s great when they feel they are contributing to getting ready for the holidays. They are so proud of themselves when they help out and have some sweet treats to show for it! We usually turn up the Christmas music and bake on a Saturday before Christmas! Little hands can help rolls the mixture into balls, that’s always fun for kids.
These are great because you can make them ahead of time and freeze them. The recipe makes 3 dozen so you you will have some for the party you’re going to and some for home when guests come over.
