Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cup powdered sugar* (sifted)
1/2 cup butter (room temp (not melted))
6 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup coconut** (chopped in food processor)
2 cup chocolate candy melts (You can find tips on melting chocolate here. I use Ghirardelli brand.)

Steps:

  • Add milk, pecans, and coconut.
  • Roll into small balls and chill at least 1 hour.
  • Melt chocolate. Dip candy in chocolate and allow to dry on parchment paper.
  • Share and Enjoy!
  • *If your mixture isn't thick add more sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time until thick (think cookie dough consistency)
  • **I use coconut that is found on the baking isle, usually close to chocolate chips and nuts (not frozen).
