Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free No Bake Chocolate Coconut Clusters

If you like coconut and chocolate, these no bake cookies should go on your must try list. These cookies have a wonderful chewy texture. The flavor slightly reminds me of Mounds bars. They are not too sweet, they are just the perfect combination of coconut and chocolate. Even my dad that doesn't like coconut liked these cookies. I'm thrilled to have another no bake cookie for those days that we are short on time but need a snack to take somewhere.

 

 

No Bake Chocolate Coconut Clusters

1 cup safe chocolate chips
1/3 cup dairy free margarine
13 large marshmallows
2 cups quick oats
1 cup flaked coconut

Place the chocolate chips, margarine and marshmallows in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat then stir in the oats and coconut until thoroughly combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Roll and flatten slightly if you want a prettier cookie. Refrigerate until firm. Store between layers on wax paper in a covered container in the fridge.

Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Pineapple Marshmallow Sweet Potato Casserole

This is one of our favorite holiday side dishes. My favorite part is the brown sugar topping. The marshmallows add just the right amount of sweetness to the casserole. This picture does not do this casserole justice. If you like sweet potatoes, I highly recommend trying this dish.

Pineapple Marshmallow Sweet Potato Casserole

2 large cans yams (sweet potatoes)
2-3 cans (8 oz each) crushed pineapples, drained
1 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup dairy free margarine, softened
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp dairy free margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar

Mash the yams in a 2 quart microwave safe oval baking dish. Add the pineapples, marshmallows, 1/4 cup margarine and salt then stir until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, melt the 2 tbsp margarine. Add the brown sugar then stir until combined. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the yam mixture. Cover the dish with a paper towel then microwave for 7-9 minutes or until heated through.

Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Chocolate Graduation Hats

I made up this fun dessert a few years ago for Jazzy's kindergarten graduation party. They were such a big hit and so good that I wanted to share them in case anyone needs some ideas for a graduation party dessert.

Chocolate Graduation Hats

Graham cracker sheets, broken in half
Large marshmallows
Safe chocolate chips, melted
Fruit Roll-Ups, cut in long strips

Coat the graham crackers and marshmallows in the melted chocolate chips. Place the coated graham cracker on top of the coated marshmallow then place them on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Take two of the Fruit Roll-Ups strips and twist them at the top to connect them. Use a little of the melted chocolate to attach them to the center of the graham cracker. Place in the fridge until set. Store any leftover in the fridge.
