Ingredients

• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
• 1 cup finely shredded, unsweetened coconut, divided
• Optional: Other assorted toppings for rolling, like mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, etc.

Directions

1. Mix together sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, butter and corn syrup in a pot over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a bubble, then toss in half of the shredded coconut {1/2 cup}.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and whisk, whisk, whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Try not to scrape up the residue forming on the bottom of the pan or you'll have little brown bits in your candies. If you don't care about that kind of thing, then scrape away!
3. Keep whisking until the mixture has thickened significantly {about 8-10 minutes}. It should be reduced by about half and slide as one mass to the other side of the pot when the pot is slightly tilted.
4. Pour the mixture into a heat-proof bowl and allow to cool. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until it is set up and can be handled.
5. Meanwhile, get your desired topping ready by putting it in a bowl. Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and roll it into balls. Toss them into the topping and roll them around until they're fully coated.
6. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
