Chocolate coconut sweets

This is a family favourite. My husband makes it and it is a guaranteed request on any and every birthday in our house!


Ingredients:

3 heaped tbsp margarine
¾ Cup sugar
¼ Cup cocoa
1 Cup Milk
1 ½ Cups coconut (desiccated)
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 ½ Cups Oats

Method:

In a medium pot on medium heat on a stove plate, melt sugar and butter together. Add the vanilla essence and milk and stir thoroughly. Add cocoa and mix well ensuring all the lumps are gone. Allow to cook, as it starts to boil add the coconut and mix it in. Add the oats and mix thoroughly. Once it is completely mixed remove from heat. Fill paper cup holders with the mixture and allow to cool in the fridge for 2 – 3 hours.

Mmm Delicious!
