Ok, here is an extension to the cookie swap. I can share better with this one.
These are my absolute favorite besides fudge!!
I know alot of people call these Martha Washingtons, but, my mom always called them angel balls because of the white of the middle.
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 stick butter
2- 1 lb boxes of powdered sugar
1- 1 lb flaked coconut
1 lb of finely chopped pecans
1/4 parafin wax
12 oz chocolate chips
Melt milk and butter over low flame. Cool. In large bowl, with both hands, mix together coconut, powdered sugar and pecans. Add milk mixture. Mix well. Melt chocolate chips and wax in top of double boiler over low heat{or use a smaller pot set over a larger pot using the handle of the smaller pot to keep it just above the water}
Shape coconut mixture into balls about the size of fifty cent piece. If balls don't stay together, can refrigerate to harden. Using a fork, put balls in melted chocolate mixture and lift out. Let drain off a little. Turn onto wax paper and allow to harden. If there is a void from the fork on ball, using a spoon, put a little chocolate to cover.
This makes about 3 dozen balls.
