Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 3 cups shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1 – 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients required for making these delectable Coconut Treats. Measure out the quantities as listed.

2. Heat Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, butter, and miniature marshmallows. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3. Add Vanilla: Once the marshmallows have melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir well to incorporate the vanilla flavor evenly throughout the mixture.

4. Blend Ingredients: Gradually add the powdered sugar, shredded coconut, and any optional nuts of your choice to the mixture. Stir well after each addition to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. Chill Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill until it is almost firm. This step will make it easier to shape the mixture into balls later on.

6. Shape Balls: Once the mixture has chilled sufficiently, remove it from the refrigerator. Using a teaspoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth, round balls. Place the balls on a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper.

7. Melt Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt 1 to 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips until smooth and glossy. Stir the chocolate occasionally to ensure even melting.

8. Dip Treats: Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat. Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring that it is completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the dipped balls back onto the waxed paper.

9. Chill Again: Once all the coconut balls have been dipped in chocolate, transfer the tray to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate coating to set completely. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.

10. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate coating has set, transfer the Coconut Treats to a serving platter or airtight container. These delicious treats can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later consumption.

These Coconut Treats are sure to be a hit with friends and family alike. Their irresistible combination of creamy coconut, sweet marshmallows, and rich chocolate makes them the perfect indulgence for any occasion. Enjoy! 🥥🍫
