Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 1 can (14 oz / 300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dried shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for rolling)
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly combine all ingredients and create a consistent batter.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to allow it to firm up, making it easier to handle for rolling.
- Form the Balls: Once chilled, scoop the mixture and roll it into 1¼-inch balls. Keep the size small as the treats are rich and indulgent.
- Coat the Balls: Roll each ball in additional graham cracker crumbs to create a crunchy outer layer and enhance texture.
- Final Chill: Place the coated balls on a baking sheet and chill again in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes until firm and set.
- Serve and Store: Serve cold for best texture and flavor. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Keep the balls small (about 1¼ inches) since they are rich and highly indulgent.
- The recipe can be customized by rolling balls in colored sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or dusting with cocoa powder.
- For a chocolate lover’s twist, dip them halfway in melted dark chocolate or drizzle with chocolate sauce.
- Perfect for nut-free, school-safe events and make-ahead dessert options.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness.
- Use this recipe as a base to experiment with ingredients like white chocolate chips or toasted coconut.
