Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c coconut
2 box confectioners' sugar
2 c chopped pecans
2 stick margarine/butter
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1 pkg semi sweet chocolate chips
1 block of parafin wax
1 extra box of confectioners' sugar for dusting your hands/fingers

Steps:

  • 1. Mix first 5 ingredients together & chill in freezer for about 5-10 minutes.
  • 2. Dip hands in confectioners' sugar to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands. Roll out 1/2in to 1in size balls until mixture is gone.
  • 3. Insert toothpick into each ball then set in freezer again to chill.
  • 4. While balls are chilling, melt down the block of parafin wax. Once wax is melted add the chocolate chips & stir until melted & smooth.
  • 5. Dip each ball into chocolate until all are dipped & coated. You may add as many coatings of chocolate as you prefer. I prefer 2 coatings.
  • 6. Return balls to freezer again until the chocolate is set then remove toothpicks & enjoy!!
