I got this recipe from my Mother. She made this every Thanksgiving and Christmas. The recipe was obtained from a church cookbook from Guin, AL.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 stick butter, softened
4 c powdered sugar
2 c coconut, shredded
2 c pecans, in pieces
1 tsp vanilla extract
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tbsp paraffin wax

Steps:

  • 1. Mix butter, sugar, sweetened condensed milk together in a large mixing bowl. Add coconut, pecans and vanilla, mix well. Chill for about 1 hour.
  • 2. Remove from refrigerator and form mixture into small round balls using your hands. Place on a large cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Continue until all the mixture is gone. Chill again for about 30 minutes. This makes it easier to handle during dipping.
  • 3. While mixture is chilling, using a double boiler, melt chocolate chips and add the paraffin wax to the chocolate chips.
  • 4. Dip the candy into the warm melted chocolate using a tooth pick and set on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Allow to cool and then place into candy dish or box.
