They never quite set up like I thought they should. So I served them in little baking cups. However, had several people ask for the recipe.

Mine were too runny & wouldn't stay together in their nice little roundness...

these are GREAT! so easy and FUN to make. big hit at thanksgiving! only suggestion, when shaping the balls, they got very sticky after 10-15, so i just rinsed my hands and left them a little damp when they were too sticky. worked great! loved this one!!

The next time I would not include the marshmallows, they didn't add anything to the taste and the consistency would be better without them. I also added a 1/2 tsp of almond extract. Really nice combo with the coconut & cherries, and I didn't use the green cherries, I used all red. Really good!.

Iloved it and it gave an overall excellent taste and experience for somthing that won't hype you up on sugar but will keep you going. This is all I can say so you better try it yourself.
