I just made reindeer poop....

Is this traditional?

I found the recipe in the holiday baking thread. I thought the idea was simply the greatest. It seemed somewhat harmless too. Just coconut flakes and melted chocolate. So I added raisins for dramatic effect. You scoop messy balls of it directly onto a pan, or waxed paper and chill.

They are so gross looking, but seemed somewhat harmlsss compared to other baking ideas. And my, they taste good. I used a Large block of Trader Joes chocolate, and organic unsweetened coconut, and organic raisins. Thought I would share. Oh, and the part that totally makes it is the tag you add!:

"You've been bad so here's the scoop- all you get is reindeer poop!"

Very cute. I might make this with my kids over break. Can you use dark chocolate? (Does dark chocolate melt okay?)

yep I just used the large block , the "Pound Plus" chocolate. As long as it is a good quality chocolate, it should melt and taste ok.

I don't doubt it at all! I'm not sure that it would last long around me...
