Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter
Optional: 1 teaspoon almond extract
Optional: Sea salt for garnish
Optional: Chopped nuts for garnish
Optional: Cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and chopped nuts. Mix until well-combined.
Form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in size) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Pop the baking sheet into the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the balls.
Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
Once the coconut balls are slightly frozen, dip each one into the melted chocolate and allow the excess to drip off.
Return the coated candies to the baking sheet and sprinkle any desired toppings before the chocolate sets.
Let the candies cool completely in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
Martha Washington Candy is a delightful confection that blends the creamy sweetness of coconut with the rich chocolate coating, reminiscent of childhood memories and family gatherings.
