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!!
