Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, chopped nuts, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully blended.
  2. Use your hands to shape the mixture into small balls or bars, about 1 inch in size. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, or until firm.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  5. Remove the chilled coconut balls and dip them in the melted chocolate using a fork. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  6. Return the dipped candies to the baking sheet and let them sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
  7. Once set, these candies are ready to enjoy. Store them in an airtight container.

Notes

Feel free to customize the nuts or add dried fruits for variation. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
