Hazelnut Coconut Balls Serbian Rafaelo Kuglice Recipes

HAZELNUT COCONUT BALLS (SERBIAN RAFAELO KUGLICE)

Steps:

• If you haven't purchased toasted, peeled hazelnuts, bake in 300 degree oven until the skin (peel) starts to fall off. If all of the peels do not come off entirely, that is OK.
• Make a thick syrup by cooking the water, butter, unsweetened coconut (2 1/2 cups) and sugar.
• Add the powdered milk to this mixture. Mix well, so that there are no lumps.
• Allow two hours to cool. (To speed up this process, I pop this in the refrigerator).
• Around each toasted hazelnut, put a little of the cooled mixture, forming them into balls, so that the hazelnut is in the center.
• Roll each ball in the remaining coconut.
• Recipe makes 60 - 100 balls, depending on the size.

MOUNDS BAR MARTINI

Steps:

• Fill a martini shaker halfway with ice (preferably crushed). Combine cocoa with 2 oz. hot water, and mix well. Then add 2 oz. cold water, and pour the mixture into the martini shaker. Add the vodka, syrup and Reddi-Wip, and cover the top of the shaker. Shake for about a minute, or until trhe liquid is cold. Then strain into 2 martini glasses. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COCONUT CANDY - NO SWEETENER!

Steps:

• Soften coconut - you can use the microwave, or a double boiler, or submerge your container in hot water. In a very warm house it might be soft enough already!
• Stir in peppermint extract and cocoa powder until thoroughly mixed. Taste as you go - I didn't measure how much I used so this is an estimate.
• Pour into candy molds, mini muffin tins, ice cube trays, very small cups, or whatever else you need to get the shape you'd like.
• Refrigerate or freeze until solid, and store in the refrigerator.
