Shaggy Dogs

These are one of my very favorite Christmas candys. They are so easy to make. So very much worth the effort, since they are easy and oh so good!
Add and melt together 1cup chocolate chips, 1 cube butter or margarine.
When melted add to 2 beaten eggs with 1 pound of powdered sugar. Mix well.
When well mixed, fold in 1 ten ounce package of miniature marshmallows and 1 cup of chopped nuts.
Spoon out with tablespoon into coconut. Roll around to coat with coconut.
Put onto waxed paper lined cookie sheet. (Takes about 1 pound of coconut.) Let set until chocolate is cooled and set. Store in airtight container.
These are messy to make and your fingers get chocolate covered, but so worth it. Just lick your fingers when you're done.
(With all of the controversy about raw eggs, I’ve started using pasteurized eggs, such as egg beaters instead of eggs.)
