Easy Chocolate Coconut Balls. A no-bake cookie treat that’s like a coconut candy bar. A popular Holiday treat too!

Chocolate Coconut Balls

These easy chocolate coconut balls are a coconut and chocolate lovers dream. Sweetened condensed milk makes for a moist coconut centre you’ll love.

Here’s one for Nancy, my friend who by her own confession needs, “a coconut intervention” and what’s better to add to a coconut lovers confection than chocolate?!

These are oh so easy to make and use just a few simple ingredients to make these wonderfully soft centred coconut wonders. Freezing the soft coconut centres makes it super easy to dip them in the chocolate too.

The only problem after that is waiting the hour or so for the centre to that and the chocolate to set! These are always on my Holiday treat list particularly because they freeze so well.
