Ingredients

0.25 cup butter
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 cups flaked coconut
9 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
2 tablespoons shortening

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients for your coconut bonbons.
In a medium bowl, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Then, gently mix in the coconut until well combined.
Shape the coconut mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them in the refrigerator and chill until firm, approximately 1 hour.
In a double boiler, melt chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully melted. Once melted, remove from heat and stir to ensure the shortening is completely mixed in.
Using toothpicks, carefully hold each coconut ball and dip it into the melted chocolate. Place the chocolate-covered bonbons on wax paper to dry and set.
