# Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the coconut is fully coated and starts to stick together.

Take a small amount of the coconut mixture (about a tablespoon) and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a chocolate truffle or bonbon in the center, then carefully fold the coconut mixture around it, rolling it into a ball. Ensure that the chocolate is completely enclosed. Repeat with the remaining mixture and chocolate truffles.

Arrange the coconut cookie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes to firm up and hold their shape.
04 -
Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave or over a double boiler. Using a spoon or small piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the chilled cookie balls.

Return the cookie balls to the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate drizzle to set.

Once the chocolate has set, the coconut cookie balls are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
