Serving Size: 36

Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

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

Steps

1. Prepare the Coconut Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, confectioners' sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until smooth. Stir in the flaked coconut until evenly distributed.
2. Shape the Bonbons: Roll the coconut mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
3. Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler, melt the semisweet chocolate and shortening together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and stir to ensure the shortening is fully incorporated for a glossy finish.
4. Coat the Bonbons: Using a toothpick, 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. Set the Bonbons: Let the chocolate-coated bonbons sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. For a quicker set, you can refrigerate them for about 15 minutes.
6. Serve and Store: Once set, serve the bonbons immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to two weeks, making them a perfect make-ahead treat.
