No-Bake Coconut Balls

Ingredients
1/3 cup butter
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
3 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels
Preparation
Melt 1/3 cup butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat, and stir in 3 tablespoons water and vanilla.

Combine powdered sugar and milk powder; stir 1/2 cup at a time into butter mixture until smooth. Stir in coconut.

Shape into 1-inch balls, and place on ungreased baking sheets. Chill 20 minutes.

Place chocolate morsels in a small zip-top freezer bag; seal. Submerge in hot water until chocolate melts. Snip a tiny hole in one corner of bag, and drizzle chocolate over coconut balls. Store in refrigerator.
