Decadent Stovetop Chocolate Coconut Macaroons

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Stovetop Chocolate Coconut Macaroons.

1. Step 1

   Start by lining a baking sheet with waxed paper, creating a perfect surface for your delicious macaroons to cool on later. This simple step ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking, so don’t skip it!

2. Step 2

   In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. As it melts, stir in the white sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and salt. Keep an eye on it and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil without stirring for about 7 to 8 minutes, or until the sugar has completely dissolved. This is where the magic happens, so resist the urge to stir!

3. Step 3

   Once the mixture is bubbling and the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Now, it’s time to add the star ingredients: the rolled oats, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until well combined, and let the delightful aroma fill your kitchen!

4. Step 4

   Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Don’t worry about making them perfect; the rustic look adds to their charm!

5. Step 5

   Finally, pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator and let the macaroons chill until they are set, which should take at least an hour. This waiting time will only build your anticipation for these sweet treats!
