Easy and delicious macaroons
Over the months I have shared some of my favourite appetizers and entrees, but I have left out one of the most satisfying and simple recipes in my repertoire. Now is as good of a time as ever to share the recipe for one of my favourite deserts: chocolate macaroons. With final papers and exams flying in full force, why not give yourself a short break and indulge in some delicious treats? Come on, you know you deserve a break!
Step one: Get out a glass mixing bowl and pour in Belgian chocolate or chocolate chips. Next, fill a pot with a few inches of water. Place the glass bowl on top of the pot and bring the water to a boil on the stovetop. As the chocolate begins to melt, give it a stir and continue until it is velvety soft and smooth. Remove the pot and bowl from stove and let sit on a hot pad to make sure the counter surface or table does not ruin from the heat.
Step two: Get out a large mixing bowl and pour in one cup of rolled oats and two cups of shredded coconut. Add in the melted chocolate and mix together with a spoon. If it appears you need more coconut or rolled oats, add in as necessary, making sure that the chocolate is coating the mixture entirely.
Step three: Get out a baking tray and lay out a piece of wax paper over its surface. Next, spoon out the mixture until it is gone.
Step four: Place the baking tray in the fridge for 10 minutes or until the mixture has had time to set.
Step five: Remove from the fridge, put in a container, and store at room temperature.
Believe it or not, you are finished, and these delicious bite-sized macaroons are ready to eat! Enjoy!
