Ingredients

• 3 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 12 ounces Dark chocolate chips (or semisweet chocolate)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or shortening)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter (softened), and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

Step 2

Gradually add the powdered sugar to the coconut mixture, mixing well after each addition until a stiff but pliable dough forms.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Step 4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out small portions of the chilled coconut mixture (approximately 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Once all the coconut balls have been rolled, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 6

While the coconut balls are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (or shortening) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 7

Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and return the bonbons to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Let the chocolate-coated bonbons set at room temperature, or refrigerate them for 10-15 minutes for faster setting.

Step 9

Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the bonbons to an airtight container and store them in a cool place. Serve and enjoy!
