Martha Washington Candies

ADVERTISEMENT

The holiday season usually means baking, but I like to give my oven a little break and whip up one of my favorite holiday no-bake recipes, and these chocolate dipped sweetened coconut-pecan-cherry treats are a great no-bake option. They’re called Martha Washington’s candies, and they’re a delightful holiday treat for the coconut lovers in your social circle.

There’s definitely some sugar in this recipe: sweetened condensed milk, sweetened shredded coconut, chopped maraschino cherries, powdered sugar, and chocolate, so it’s not for the faint of heart. But each candy is the perfect bite-sized confection, so I like to consider them virtually guilt-free.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 lb powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
