Instructions
To make the coconut filling
Mix together the icing sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract ans dried coconut.
Chill and roll into one inch balls.
Place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze completely.
To make the chocolate coating
In a double boiler, melt together the chocolate chips and butter.
I use two forks to dip the coconut balls, one at a time. After rolling in the chocolate, I lift the dipped chocolate ball and let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them back onto the sheet to let the chocolate set.
