Chocolate Yummies

Goat mom's Note:

This is from an early nineteen sixties Betty Crocker Cooky Book that I have of my Mom's. Can tell the recipes we loved by the stained pages. I remember making these by myself in my early teens. Have changed to suit our taste through the years. If you like chocolate and coconut you will be a fan of these, the oats are throw in so seems healthy:-). Also good during those hot weather Christmas times can have in Florida, no oven to heat up the house. Must be kept refrigerated.

Only had dark chocolate chips in the house and this recipe turned out wonderful! I didn't think that I'd like the combination of oats and coconut, but it worked very well. Thank you Goat mom! Made for PAC Spring '09.
