I thought this looked like a great recipe for Christmas treats, and it is. I made a half recipe to try it, and not all of it got made into balls... wonder why?
My alteration:
To cut down on the sugar, I only used 2 oz. sugar (for the half batch). I also mixed in the coconut and added 2 Tbsp. of melted coconut cream, just because I love coconut. I just hope they last until Christmas so the rest of the family can try them!!

~ I found they rolled into balls easier with damp hands.
~ Great for someone watching their sugar intake.
