Ingredients
  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (if you can't find unsweetened you can substitute sweetened)
  • 14 ounces condensed milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup sliced almonds (optional)
  • I pound semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chopped into small pieces (I find milk chocolate too sweet for this recipe)
  • COOKING TOOLS
  • large bowl
  • large spoon
  • measuring cup- 1 cup
Instructions
  1. Begin by mixing together the shredded coconut, condensed milk and powdered sugar until completely combined.
  2. Mix in sliced almonds (optional).
  3. Cover and place in the refrigerator for thirty minutes.
  4. While the coconut mixture is in the refrigerator, melt the chocolate.
  5. You can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove or the microwave. Begin by chopping the chocolate into small pieces.
  6. Put ⅔ of the chocolate pieces into a microwave safe bowl and cook for 1 minute.
  7. Stir after one minute.
  8. If not melted cook for an additional 30 seconds. If using a double boiler cook on the stove until melted.
  9. Place the additional ⅓ of the chocolate into the melted chocolate and stir until melted.
  10. If the chocolate does not completely melt place in the microwave for thirty seconds and stir.
  11. Take the coconut mixture out of the refrigerator and begin to form small, walnut size balls.
  12. Coat the ball with chocolate using two spoons to transfer it from one spoon to the next.
  13. Keep rolling the coconut balls and coating them with chocolate.
  14. Place on a piece of tinfoil or wax paper to harden. This will take a couple of hours.
