Melt paraffin and chocolate in top of double boiler, stirring well. Remove from heat but allow chocolate to remain over hot water.(If chocolate becomes to thick,return to heat for a minute or so to thin). With toothpick, dip each ball in chocolate and place on waxed paper to set.
Tips:
- Use fresh shredded coconut. It makes a big difference in the flavor and texture of the balls.
- If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of butter in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then, stir in 1 cup of evaporated milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
- Be careful not to overmix the balls. Overmixing will make them tough.
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, add a little more shredded coconut.
- If you want a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of almond extract to the mixture.
- For a fun variation, you can dip the balls in melted chocolate before rolling them in shredded coconut.
- Store the balls in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
