Directions:

  2. Set a large wire cooling rack on the paper; set aside.
  3. Place the coconut in a large bowl; set aside.
  4. Place corn syrup in a 1-cup glass measureing cup.
  5. Microwave on high (100%) 1 minute or until syrup boils.
  6. Immediately pour over coconut.
  7. Work warm syrup into coconut using the back of a wooden spoon until coconut is thoroughly coated.
  8. This takes a little time, and yes, there is enough syrup.

  10. HINT: Measure out all of the coconut then roll into balls.
  11. Place 2 inches apart on wire racks.
  12. Let dry 10 minutes.
  13. Reroll coconut balls so there are no loose ends of coconut sticking up.

  15. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture can be stirred smooth and is glossy; stirring once or twice.
  16. Working quickly, spoon 1 level tablespoon of the chocolate over each coconut ball, making sure chocolate coats and letting excess chocolate drip down onto waxed paper.
