Ingredients
4 ounces finely chopped milk chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate, or white chocolate
2/3 cup unsweetened dessicated coconut
Dash green food coloring, optional
18-24 small jellybeans
Directions
Line baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper. In heatproof bowl over pan of barely simmering water, melt half of chocolate, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in remaining chocolate until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Stir in coconut until completely combined. Drop rounded tablespoons of mixture onto prepared pan, keeping shape as round as possible, and spacing 2 inches apart. Using back of 1/2 teaspoon, gently press into center of each mound to create a slight crater. Gently press 3 or 4 jellybeans into center and chill until set, about 15 minutes.
