Number Of Ingredients 5

7 ounce(s) sweetened, shredded coconut
1 can(s) dulce de leche (14 oz)
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
2 cup(s) nilla wafer crumbs (about 7 oz cookies)
16 ounce(s) ghirardelli dark chocolate wafers

Steps:

On a large baking sheet, spread coconut into a single layer. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Be sure to turn and flip the coconut every 5 minutes. Remove from oven. In a glass bowl, add dulce de leche. Microwave for about 1 minutes. Stir until smooth. Add in coconut, sweetened condensed milk and cookie crumbs. Stir until well combined
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop one tablespoon of mixture (I use this scoop) onto the parchment paper. Repeat until all mixture is used. Place baking sheet in freezer and freeze for about 30 minutes. Melt chocolate wafers according to package directions (about 1 1/2 minutes in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds). Dip bottom of each truffle in melted chocolate and return to parchment paper.
Once all truffles are dipped, put the remaining chocolate into a small ziploc bag. Snip off the corner and drizzle over truffles. Store in refrigerator (or freezer) in airtight container.
