If you're looking for a coconut treat or an easy edible gift to give friends, you need to try these candies. Easy to make, the filling is creamy, decadent, and full of coconut flavor. Covered in chocolate, these coconut balls remind us of a Mounds candy bar. So good, you'll find excuses to make these.

How To Make coconut balls

Test Kitchen Tips

We opted to toast a little coconut and sprinkle it over the coconut balls as they chilled. These are delicious just dipped in chocolate too.

Step 1

Melt butter slowly; add condensed milk.

Step 2

Stir in powdered sugar and salt.
Step 3

Add coconut.
Step 4

Chill until easily handled.
Step 5

Roll into balls. Insert toothpicks and place in refrigerator or freezer until firm. Remove a few at a time to prevent getting soft.
Step 6

Melt bark in a double boiler.
Step 7

Dip each ball in chocolate.
Step 8

Place on waxed paper and remove toothpicks. Let set until firm.
Step 9

ENJOY!
