Ingredients




1 box or 1 lb. powdered sugar
1/2 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1/8 pound butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/16 pound paraffin (parawax)
8 ounces chocolate chips
1/2 lg. box coconut

Preparation

1 Place powdered sugar in large bowl. Make a well in center. Pour in the milk, softened butter and vanilla. Blend until a soft paste is formed. Work in all sugar; add coconut. Mix well and refrigerate. Now, with hands, make small balls of the paste; refrigerate again. The balls must be cold when dipped. 2 Put chocolate chips and shredded wax in top of double boiler. When melted, dip each ball into the mixture. Roll until coated. Dip out with a fork; place on waxed paper. Keep the chocolate over the hot water all the time. With a little practice, your chocolate can be swirled on top of the ball for a professional look.
