Coconut Macaroons & Chocolate Covered Strawberries

 Coconut Macaroons and Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Coconut Macaroons: 
I recently made this new recipe for my family and it was a BIG hit!!
If you love coconut & chocolate, try this ridiculously simple and inexpensive recipe. :)


1 pkg (14oz) Baker's Angel Flake Coconut
2/3 c. sugar
6 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 tsp. almond extract
1 pkg (8 squares) Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate


Heat oven to 325.


Combine coconut, sugar, flour, and salt. Add egg whites & extract. Mix well. 


Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. 


Bake for 20 mins or until edges are golden brown. Cool on baking racks.


Melt chocolate as directed on package. Dip cookies halfway into chocolate. Let stand until chocolate if firm. (I put them in the refridegerator for 20 mins.) 


YUUUUUMMMMYYY!! So yummy! 


** I made some without chocolate and they were awesome too! So if you aren't a chocolate fan, skip the chocolate! 








Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
No special recipe needed here.. just classic chocolate dipped strawberries.


I used the remaining chocolate that I had left over and dipped fresh strawberries! SO delicious and the kids LOVED these too. Makes for a nutritious dessert. Try it with dark chocolate!!
