Coconut Chocolate Chip Balls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/4 cup melted butter
02 - 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 1 can (300ml/14oz) sweetened condensed milk
05 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, plus extra for coating
06 - 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

# Instructions:

01 - Mix the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and a splash of vanilla in a big bowl. Keep stirring until it's super smooth and looks shiny. Make sure no bits of butter are floating around; it should be uniform to hold the dry ingredients well.
02 - Toss in the graham crumbs, coconut, and chocolate chips into the wet mixture. Using a sturdy spatula or spoon, fold everything together. You’ll need some patience to get everything mixed evenly since the consistency will be thick and sticky.
03 - Pop a lid or plastic wrap over the bowl and stick it in the fridge for about 1 hour. This step firms up the mixture so it’s less messy to shape. If your kitchen runs hot, a little extra chilling time might come in handy.
04 - Take the bowl out of the fridge once the mix has set. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to grab portions and roll them in your hands into balls about 1 1/4 inches in size. They’re pretty rich, so smaller sizes work best as bite-sized treats.
05 - Spread extra graham crumbs on a plate. Gently roll each ball around in the crumbs so they're evenly coated all over. Press lightly to make sure the crumbs stick well. This step helps with texture and keeps your fingers from getting sticky.
06 - Line up the coated treats on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, leaving a little space between them. Stick the sheet in the fridge until the balls are completely firm. Serve them cold for the best flavor and texture.

# Notes:

01 - These simple chocolate coconut treats mix the comforting flavors of graham crackers, coconut, and chocolate into a sweet, no-bake dessert everybody will love.
02 - Keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to seven days—but they might disappear way before that!
03 - Get creative! Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans, or swap a bit of the chocolate chips for butterscotch ones for a fun twist.
