Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (crushed) Graham crackers
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups (divided) Shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and 1 cup of shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky and cohesive dough.
If using chopped nuts, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and set them aside on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded coconut into a shallow dish or bowl. Roll each graham cracker ball in the coconut to coat the exterior.
For an additional layer of sweetness, optionally roll the balls in powdered sugar after the coconut coating.
Transfer the finished candy balls to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
