Chocolate Coconut Kahlua Balls

Let’s talk about how much I need a candy thermometer.  It is on our wedding registry but it’s so hard to wait!! During the holidays I always want to get crazy and make candies and be that awesome candy lady that everyone loves.  I guess I can be the awesome cookie and cake lady… but I digress. When you don’t have a candy thermometer you can make all other kinds of treats like truffles and KAHLUA BALLS!!  These are such simple treats that have a sweet boozey taste that screams holidays!  They kind of taste like those things in a See’s Candies box that you can’t figure out what it is but you know you want more. Does that make sense?  Anywho. And I don’t know about you but to me, sprinkles make everything better!
