Ingredients

• 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup condensed milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
2. Take small portions of the coconut mixture and roll them into small balls using your hands. Place the coconut balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Refrigerate the coconut balls for about 20 minutes to firm them up.
4. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. You can microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, or use a double boiler for melting.
5. Dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or a chocolate dipping tool to remove the coated ball from the chocolate.
6. Place the coated coconut balls back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
7. Refrigerate the bon bons for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate coating is set.
8. Once the chocolate has hardened, the coconut bon bons are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them chilled or at room temperature.
