Very Easy Christmas Sweetie

I made some chocolate covered coconut balls last night and they were so easy to make I'd like to share them with you.
8 oz (225g) desiccated coconut
4 oz (125g) icing sugar
7 fluid oz (190g) condensed milk
13 oz (350g) chocolate
Mix coconut and icing sugar thoroughly into condensed milk (if coconut is very dry use a little less than the quantity given).
Make into small balls, set on baking parchment and chill in the fridge.
Melt chocolate in a small bowl and use to cover coconut balls.
Return to the fridge and chill.
I made mine last night and chilled the coconut balls in the fridge overnight. I covered them in the chocolate before I went to work today and returned them to the fridge to set. Unfortunately, when I got back home my son found them in the fridge and set about tasting them for me. I've rescued what was left and they are now in the freezer ready for Christmas. I covered some of mine in white chocolate and some in milk chocolate. I will now have to make some more and I think I'm going to cover some in dark chocolate.

Have just defrosted some of these to [STRIKE]pig out on [/STRIKE] make sure they freeze and defrost ok (all in the name of research, you understand
) and they were absolutely fine, so will be able to make loads more in advance for Christmas - busy weekend ahead! 0 -

Yes, they do taste like Bounty bars. I took mine out of the freezer Christmas eve and popped them into the little sweet paper cases. They were half gone (I made about 2lb+) before I realised no other sweets had been opened, so next year I'm going to experiment and maybe grate some orange rind in some of the mix just to ring the changes and buy less shop bought sweets.0
