Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 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
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until smooth and fully integrated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined into a uniform mixture.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 1 hour. This helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
- Form the Balls: Once chilled, scoop the mixture and roll into small balls about 1¼-inches in diameter. Keeping them small ensures a rich and balanced bite.
- Coat the Balls: Roll each ball in extra graham cracker crumbs until fully coated, adding a pleasant crunch and finishing touch.
- Final Chill: Place the coated balls on a baking sheet or tray and refrigerate again for 30–60 minutes until firm to the touch and ready to serve.
- Serve and Store: Serve cold as an indulgent treat, store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for extended preservation.
Notes
- These treats are naturally nut-free, making them safe for nut-allergic individuals.
- For holiday variations, consider rolling in colored sprinkles or crushed candy canes.
- Try dipping balls halfway in melted chocolate or dusting with cocoa powder for extra decadence.
- To adapt for a tropical twist, add toasted coconut flakes or serve with fresh berries.
- Because they contain rich ingredients, keep ball size small to balance indulgence.
- Perfect for make-ahead dessert options; they keep well refrigerated or frozen.
