How to Make Them
Step 1: Mix the wet ingredients
In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla.
Step 2: Add the dry ingredients
Pour in the coconut, graham crumbs, and chocolate chips. Mix until everything sticks together.
Step 3: Chill the mixture
Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. This helps firm up the mixture so it’s easier to roll.
Step 4: Shape the balls
Scoop and roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 to 1¼ inches). If you like, roll them in extra graham crumbs or coconut.
Step 5: Chill again
Pop them back into the fridge to firm up completely before serving.
