Candy Easter Holiday

Ingredients:

  • 1 c HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet
  • Chocolate Chips
  • 2 ts Shortening (NOT butter,
  • Margarine, oil, or vegetable
  • Oil spread)
TINTED COCONUT
  • 1/4 ts Water
  • 1 dr Food color
  • 1/2 c MOUNDS Sweetened Coconut Flakes

Directions:

1. Cover bottom of 13x9-inch pan with heavy duty foil.
 
2. In small microwave-safe bowl, place chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, or until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Immediately spread mixture evenly on foil to about 1/8-inch thick; pat TINTED COCONUT evenly onto chocolate.
 
3. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes or until beginning to firm. Press sturdy, Easter-shaped cookie cutters down to foil, cutting through coconut and chocolate; do NOT remove shapes. Return to refrigerator until completely firm; gently remove foil. Gently press out shapes; cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Use as garnish for desserts. 6 to 12 cut-outs.
 
TINTED COCONUT: In small bowl, stir together water and food color. Stir MOUNDS Sweetened Coconut Flakes; with fork, toss until evenly tinted.
