Chocolate Coconut Bonbons

Imagine a coconut macaroon, then double the yumminess and add chocolate to it. That's these domed beauties. 

It's a two step process but worth every minute. Make it for Christmas this year and enjoy it till the New Years! 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup condensed milk

2 cups desiccated coconut 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups grated semi sweet chocolate 

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. 

Mix the coconut and flour. Add vanilla and condensed milk. Mix thoroughly and shape into balls. If the mixture falls apart add a spoonful of water till it binds into a ball. Flatten slightly and arrange on a baking tray lined with butter / parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes till the slightly browned on top. Cool thoroughly. 

In a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolate. Cut the coconut cookie in half. Using a fork, dip the half cookie in chocolate. Tap to remove excess chocolate and place on a plastic plate. Refrigerate for 10 mins for the chocolate to harden. These can be stored at room temperature in an air tight container for a week. 

Enjoy!
