Coconut Mounds

Coconut Mounds! It’s Christmas time, which means it’s time to make a TON of candy to deliver to the neighbors. I voted for peppermint patties, but my hubby won this time and got to make his FAVORITE treat.

Coconut mounds! He absolutely loves these and says they taste just like the Mounds you buy at the store.

These are so simple to make because they’re no-bake! And they’re pretty much no-fail!
