Why These Ingredients Work Perfectly Together:

- ✔ Coconut flakes add chewiness and a delicate nutty flavor.
- ✔ Butter and vanilla extract round out the flavor and ensure a creamy bite.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️ Prepare Your Mixing Bowl
Grab a large mixing bowl and add the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and softened butter. Use a spoon or clean hands to mix until everything is well combined. This step helps evenly distribute the flavors and ensures each bite has the perfect texture.
2️ Sweeten and Bind
Next, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the mixture becomes thick and sticky. If you’re adding extras like mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a pinch of cinnamon, fold them in now to enhance the flavor.
3️ Shape into Bite-Sized Balls
Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture feels too sticky, lightly grease your hands with butter or chill the mixture for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
4️ Coat for Extra Flavor & Texture
Roll each ball in your preferred coating:
✔ Powdered sugar – for a soft, melt-in-your-mouth finish
✔ Cocoa powder – for a rich, slightly bitter contrast
✔ Extra shredded coconut – to enhance the chewy texture
Pro Tip:
If you love an extra chocolatey version, drizzle the finished bites with melted dark chocolate before chilling. For a fun variation, mix in a tablespoon of peanut butter or Nutella for a richer taste!
