**Cocoa Butter Balls**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups crushed graham crackers
– 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
2. Gradually fold in the crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut, stirring gently until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Once the mixture is well combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up slightly for easy rolling.
4. After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using clean hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
5. Place the cocoa butter balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each ball to prevent sticking.
6. Once all the mixture has been rolled into balls, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the cocoa butter balls to set and firm up.
7. Serve the cocoa butter balls on a decorative platter or in mini cupcake liners for a charming presentation. Enjoy these delightful treats with a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite herbal tea for a cozy and satisfying snack.
