Coconut Balls Recipe.

I have always loved the Ferrero Raffaello coconut candy balls that are always in the checkout line at Target so when I found this recipe I decided to try it for our Anniversary yesterday...according to Dave, the only thing I did wrong was not make enough of these amazing little treats.

I decided to mix it up a bit, so you can either do them all one way or half and half like I did...but here's how I made them...

Batch 1:
-3/4 c graham crackers, mashed
-1/3 c coconut flakes (plus extra to rolls balls in)
-3/8 c almonds(just fill your 3/4 c half full)
-1/2 c powdered sugar
-2 Tbsp almond milk
-1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

*Batch 2 is the same as Batch 1, just add about 1/4 c white chocolate chips (we like Ghirardelli brand)

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a food processor and grind until well mixed (and almonds are chopped a bit).

Add in milk and butter and grind again until well mixed (you might have to stop halfway through and push the batter down with a spoon).

Put Batch 1 in a bowl and cover, place in fridge. Repeat all steps with Batch 2.

Leave both bowls in the fridge for a little over an hour. Then scoop them out with a spoon and roll into balls. I only did coconut on the outside for about half of the first batch. Just sprinkle the flakes in your hand and roll the ball like normal and the flakes will stick to the outside.

Refridgerate all of the coconut balls for at least 2 hours (to set) before enjoying...

Then dig in! These were so easy to make and we enjoyed them so much I will definitely be making these on a regular basis now!
