Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together confectioners sugar, Eagle Brand milk, melted butter, coconut, and chopped nuts.
- Chill the mixture for 2 hours or overnight.
- Roll the chilled mixture into balls and chill again.
- Dip the balls in melted chocolate and allow to set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened coconut instead of sweetened. You can substitute the chopped nuts with crushed graham crackers for a different texture. Make sure to chill the mixture adequately; if it's too soft, it will be challenging to roll into balls. If you prefer a more decadent touch, incorporate some melted chocolate into the mixture before chilling.
Serving Suggestions
These candies are delightful when served alongside a cup of coffee or tea. They can also be a sweet addition to dessert platters or holiday gift boxes. For a fun twist, consider pairing them with the Black Forest Cherry Dessert for a contrasting flavor experience. They make great party treats or family snacks, perfect for gatherings.
Storage & Reheating

If you want to enjoy them warm, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
