Coconut Balls
2 lbs. powdered sugar1 (12 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups coconut
1/4 cup butter; softened
Mix together all ingredients; chill. Form into 1-inch balls; chill
again on waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Dip in a chocolate coating.
Chill for another hour.
Coating
12-18 oz. semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
2-3 Tbls. shortening
Melt chocolate & shortening over low heat; stirring constantly.
(use 1 Tbls of shortening for every 6 oz. of chocolate)
Note: Original recipe calls for 2 cans or 3/4 of a large bag of
coconut. So 2 c. is a guess on my part, based on the size of a
bag of coconut.
