Ingredients

4 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup powdered sugar
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons coconut oil, melted
16 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the coconut and powdered sugar.
Next add the sweetened condensed milk and melted coconut oil. Stir to combine.
Scoop 1 tablespoon sized portions and gently roll them into smooth balls. Place the coconut balls on the prepared baking sheet and then freeze for 30 minutes.
Add the dark chocolate chips, chocolate bark, and remaining 2 teaspoons coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds and then stir. Continue heating and stirring in 30 second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted.
Working one at a time, dip each coconut truffle into the melted chocolate and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Return the truffle to the parchment lined baking sheet and continue dipping the remaining truffles.
Place the truffles into the fridge and allow them to chill until the chocolate has set–about 15 minutes. Enjoy.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
You can use 8 ounces dark chocolate chips, 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate melting wafers, and 2 teaspoons melted coconut oil in place of the 16 ounces chocolate melting wafers.
