    Dear LORD, I remember helping my neighbor make these wonderful gifts. Boy, that was great times as a teenager. I made them again 3 years ago. I enjoyed making these with my neices, and nephews.

    My mama made these one Christmas and added chopped maraschino cherries to hers. My brother and I both had pneumonia and we had a lot of snow for Mississippi. My dad built a snow man for us as we stood at the window and watched him. Even sick, that was the best Christmas of my life. Thanks for bringing back such good memories.

      My mom made these every year and sometimes she divided the batch and put maraschino cherries in half and coconut in half, with pecans in both. Delicious both ways.

    When my daughter was in college she had a girl in her dorm from Australia. She had never had any kind of Christmas candy . So my daughter and I made all kinds of Christmas candy. The girls would gather in the hall and share treats from home. Oh what a great time, they shared. Great memories they had. Martha Washington candy was one we made.

    These look so yummy. My friend makes Bourbon balls. One Christmas my mom and I sat and ate a whole tin of them. We got to laughing so loudly, we woke my kids up. It was Christmas eve and we had put out all the presents. My kids saw all the gifts and asked what we were laughing about. We told them Santa had told us a really good joke. We had Christmas around 3:00 am that year!! Thanks for jogging an old happy memory. God bless, and I'm glad you're on the mend.

    Try warming up the sweetened condensed milk before adding into the mix. It mixes easier and still tastes just the same!
    Roll the mixture into a skinny log and slice into pieces the right size and then roll into balls.

    I make apricot coconut balls every Christmas which are similar. You put in coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and chopped apricots. You then roll into balls and then into the powdered sugar. Was my great grandmother's favorite. Have been making over 50 years. These look good also. May have to try.

    I always add half a cherry in each center and I don’t use coconut all the time. You haven’t ate one til you put a cherry in them. I also use different dips. Salted caramel, butterscotch, etc. my daughter and I try to make during holidays Atleast every year or two. Looks great!!! I’m behind so I think I will make some. 🙏🏻♥️💥🙏🏻♥️💥

    Hi Tammy! This brings back memories of Christmas holidays at my grandmother's home. She made Martha Washington candy every year. It was always a huge fave with all the family members who would visit during the holidays. I've kept the tradition going for my crew. They enjoy helping....well, more like doing a taste test! Lol Thanks for another video, y'all!

    My mama made these at Christmas, and bourbon balls (vanilla wafer kind), and also taught me how to make what we call uncooked fondant (not the stuff on cakes or the stuff with Karo), which I flavor, tint, roll, and dip. I use paraffin not shortening! It’s all so, so good. Ghirardelli used to make a huge block of dipping chocolate in milk and dark that I used, but about I think 8-9 years ago, they discontinued. Best chocolate for dipping ever. Brought back a lot of memories! TFS.

    Thanks for the sweet memories of my mother. She made these every Christmas when I was growing up. They’re my favorites but I haven’t made them since she passed. Maybe I’ll make a half-batch soon. (She actually used paraffin in her melted chocolate but I use shortening.)

    I ended up with a pretty severe stomach issue and can't have nuts which kills me. So now I made toffee that I crumble up in my food processor and use them in cookies and banana bread. Not as good as pecans, but it's delicious. If you put them on top of your banana bread it gives the best flavor and crunch

    I have never heard of these. They look delicious and I’m sure they are. If you buy the Wilton brand chocolate candy melts and mix the dark chocolate and milk chocolate you get just the best flavored coating. I did this years ago when making homemade candy was all the rage. It was out if necessity since I didn’t have enough of either kind to make whatever it was I was making at the time.
