Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Food processor
  • medium sized saucepan
  • Cookie scoop or ice cream scoop
  • baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • Ziploc bag or piping bag

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces shredded coconut
  • 11 ounces caramels
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 11 ounces vanilla Wafers
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 16 ounces dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and place in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes to toast it. Keep a very close eye on it and stir it frequently to ensure even browning and that it doesn’t burn.
  • Remove and let cool.
  • In a food processor, pulse the cookies until they are fine crumbs.
  • Set aside.
  • Unwrap the caramels and place in a medium sized saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring often to prevent burning. Once they are melted, add the condensed milk, salt and coconut. Stir until well mixed.
  • Add in the cookie crumbs, and use a very sturdy spoon as the mixture is quite thick and difficult to stir.
  • Once combined, scoop into rounded teaspoon sizes and place the balls on a parchment lined cookie tray.
  • Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes for the truffles to solidify a bit.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil, in short time increments, melt the chocolate, stirring at each pause until it’s smooth and creamy.
  • Take each truffle and dip the bottom portion into the chocolate and place back on the parchment lined tray to allow it to harden.
  • Once all the truffles are dipped, take the remaining chocolate and place in a ziploc bag and cut a very small corner off and drizzle the remaining chocolate over the tops of each truffle.
  • Once they are all coated, let sit for about 20-30 to allow the chocolate to harden.
