Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons Coconut oil (or vegetable oil, optional for melting chocolate)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Stir well until the mixture forms a sticky and cohesive dough.
Step 2
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the coconut mixture into small, bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3
Once all the coconut balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the balls firm up and are easier to handle.
Step 4
While the coconut balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until completely smooth and melted. If desired, stir in the coconut oil to thin the chocolate for easier dipping.
Step 5
Remove the firm coconut balls from the freezer. Using a fork or a candy-dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the dipped candy back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Allow the chocolate-covered coconut candies to set at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting (about 10-15 minutes).
Step 7
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the candies to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for longer shelf life.
Step 8
Enjoy your delicious and easy homemade chocolate-covered coconut candies!
