Ingredients
Scale
Base 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
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips, mixing thoroughly until everything is well incorporated into a uniform mixture.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the mixture to firm up and become easier to handle.
- Form Balls: Once chilled, scoop out the mixture and roll into 1¼-inch diameter balls. Keep the size small since these are rich, indulgent treats.
- Coat Balls: Roll each ball in additional graham cracker crumbs to evenly coat the exterior, adding texture and an appealing look.
- Final Chill: Place the coated balls on a baking sheet and refrigerate again for 30–60 minutes until firm and set, ready for serving.
- Serve and Store: Serve these cold. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Keep the balls small (about 1¼ inches) because they are rich and flavorful.
- Try rolling the balls in colored sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or dusting with cocoa powder for festive occasions.
- For an elegant touch, dip the balls halfway in melted dark chocolate before chilling.
- Skewer the balls on sticks to serve them like cake pops, which is a kid-friendly, mess-free option.
- These treats are naturally nut-free, making them safe for allergy-sensitive environments.
- Can be made ahead and stored refrigerated or frozen, perfect for busy hosts or last-minute desserts.
