# Ingredients:

01 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
02 -
1 teaspoon vanilla (pure extract)
03 -
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
04 -
3 cups coconut, shredded and unsweetened
→ Chocolate Center

# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a large bowl and toss in the shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Stir everything up until the coconut's evenly coated and holds together when pressed.
02 -
Scoop out about a tablespoon of the coconut mix and pat it flat in your palm. Place a piece of chocolate in the middle, gently wrap the coconut around it, and roll it into a ball. Make sure none of the chocolate peeks through. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
03 -
Lay the coconut balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop them in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes so they firm up.
04 -
After chilling, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or over gentle heat with the coconut oil. Drizzle it over the balls using a spoon or a small bag.
05 -
Place the finished balls back into the fridge for another 10-15 minutes. The chocolate topping will harden during this time.

When the drizzle is firm, they're all set to eat! Keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for freshness. They'll last up to a week.
