Thanks for posting this! My grandmother used to make these every Christmas. They quickly became my favourite when I was really young (old enough to remember) and she made them up to the time she passed away about 10 yrs ago. There are some differences but the idea is the same. I bring them to every cookie exchange and they always go over well.

For those liking it less sweet I use 1 pkg cream cheese mixed with condensed milk the texture is easy to work with stays wonderful but you must keep them refrigerated till serving. I have tried it with orange jello to make little oranges. YUMMMM I also make a mixture of jello and sugar to roll them in afterwards. It gives them a wonderful flavor. These can be truly a wonderful cookie.and always asked for at cookie exchanges . Thanks for the recipe have modified and used it for 3 years now

I loved the idea, but it just didn't work. It was super sweet, gritty, and the melted into blobs while in the fridge. I would love to figure this out.

I am thrilled to death to see this recipe on here! My mother made these a couple of times and I loved them! Perfect Christmas candy! Lots of fun to make and more fun to eat! Thanks for sharing this.

These are delightful. I too buy the stems or just pipe a green leaf/stem on them. Chop up the coconut, it gives it a nicer alltogether look. When the coconut is real fine they r gorgeous. Our family loves these!

The strawberries came out very pretty. I used them to circle my chocolate candy platter on Christmas. Taste-wise, I wasn't very fond of them.

Maybe I did something wrong, but mine turned out like sticky little lumps of red stuff. They were yucky sweet with a wierd texture. I was disappointed, we even tried refridgerating them longer. don't know what went wrong, but thanks anyway.

I thought these were delicious! I used 6 ounces of jello TOTAL, and had to use almost an entire 14 oz bag of coconut because it was too soft after 4 hours of refrigerator time. I didn't think they were too sweet at all, and turned out cute!
