CHOCOLATE COCONUT SNOWBALLS
This recipe is from the back of an old bag of "M & M's" Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Bits. I am glad I saved it, because these are great cookies and the recipe is no longer available, even on their website. This recipe is one of thirty or so varieties that I make every Christmas and it is always a favorite. *Added 12/30/07: I don't add the M & M baking bits AFTER the dough is refrigerated. I never understood why that was necessary and since I stopped doing it I've noticed no difference. I couldn't find the M & M's this year, so used a 10 oz. bag of Hershey Kissables and they came out just as good.* --K

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the snowballs will taste. Aim for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Temper your chocolate. Tempering chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize the chocolate and prevent it from becoming grainy or streaky. There are a few different ways to temper chocolate, but the easiest method is to use a microwave.
- Use a variety of toppings. Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. Some popular options include chopped nuts, sprinkles, coconut, and crushed candy canes.
- Chill the snowballs before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
