My favorite sweet treat of the holidays. The Cupp/Swan family calls these candies 'texas millionaires' but the Weeks family calls these 'martha washingtons'. The exact same recipe in two families!
- 2 boxes/bags of powdered sugar
- 2 sticks of butter, melted
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 c chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 c coconut
- 12 oz semisweet chocolate
- 1 cake parafin
- a few toothpicks or turkey skewers
- Mix everything except parafin and chocolate in a bowl or mixer.
- Roll 1/2 inch balls of mixture and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Chill in freezer.
- Melt chocolate and parafin in metal bowl over boiling water.
- Using a toothpick in the sugar balls, dip them in the chocolate, return to cookie sheet, and return to freezer to set. Cover the toothpick whole with a drop of chocolate.
- Can be stored in freezer or fridge; can sit out for a few hour before getting too soft.
Yields 100 balls.
