I made these for Christmas and they were everyones FAVORITE! The taste like Mounds Bars...BUT BETTER! Even if you don't like coconut you HAVE to try these! It makes it easier to form them into balls if you refrigerate the dough for awhile first. Oh, and I like to store these in the refrigerator.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1 lb confectioners' sugar
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 cups flaked coconut
9 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares
2 tablespoons shortening
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together butter, confectioners' sugar, and sweetened condensed milk.
2. Mix in the coconut.
3. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
4. Melt chocolate and shortening over a double boiler, stirring occasionally until smooth.
5. Remove from heat when melted, and stir to make sure the shortening is fully incorporated.
6. Use toothpicks to hold the balls while dipping in the chocolate.
7. Set on wax paper to dry.
