Serving Size: 36

Cooking Time: 125 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.25 Cups butter, softened
• 1 Pound confectioners' sugar
• 1 Cups sweetened condensed milk
• 2 Cups flaked coconut
• 9 Ounces (oz) semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) shortening

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, confectioners' sugar, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in the flaked coconut until evenly distributed.
2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour to set.
3. Prepare a double boiler by filling a saucepan with a few inches of water and bringing it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Add the chopped semisweet chocolate and shortening to the bowl, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
4. Using a toothpick or fork, dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the bonbons back onto the wax paper.
5. Let the chocolate-coated bonbons set at room temperature or refrigerate them for quicker setting. Once the chocolate has hardened, store the bonbons in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and prevent melting.
