Ingredients

  • 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ Tablespoon butter
  • 4 Tablespoons finely shredded coconut plus more for coating the candies

Instructions

  • Combine 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk, ½ Tablespoon butter, and 4 Tablespoons finely shredded coconut in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir constantly until the mixture starts to bubble. Once it boils, keep stirring for about 5 more minutes until it thickens to a dough-like consistency.
  • Transfer the mixture to a plate and let it cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it’s firm enough to shape, about 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Once the mixture is ready, form small balls. You can make them any size you would like, but about a Tablespoon each is a good size.
  • Roll each ball in more shredded coconut to coat.
  • Store in the refrigerator and enjoy cold or at room temperature.

Notes

If the mixture is too sticky to handle, add a bit more shredded coconut or chill a bit longer.
