No baking is required for this dessert-- all you need is a microwave! A great treat to make when you have little helping hands in the kitchen.

Ingredients

• ½  cup butter


• 2 cups powdered sugar


• 3 cups (or 8 oz.) shredded coconut


• 2 oz. melted chocolate


• maraschino cherries, sliced into quarters

Melt butter. Stir in powdered sugar and coconut.

Shape mixture into balls. Use your thumb to make a dent in the center. Fill dent with melted chocolate. Top with cherry piece. Cool until set. Enjoy!
