Chewy chocolate-coconut treats rolled in graham cracker crumbs for a delightful no-bake dessert.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
02 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

04 - 1 1/2 cups dried shredded coconut
05 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, plus extra for rolling

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
02 - Add the graham cracker crumbs, dried coconut, and chocolate chips. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
03 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.

06 - Place the balls on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or until set.
07 - Serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • No oven required, which means you can make these in 15 minutes while everything else is baking.
  • The texture walks this amazing line between fudgy and crunchy, so every bite feels like a small reward.
  • They disappear in seconds, but the mix is forgiving enough that even your first batch will taste like you've made them a hundred times.
02 -
  • If your first batch feels too soft after the first chill, it means your kitchen is warm—extend the second chill time or keep them in the fridge until you're ready to serve, because they firm up perfectly with a little extra time.
  • Don't skip the extra graham cracker coating; it's not just decoration, it keeps them from being too sticky to pick up and adds a necessary textural contrast.
03 -
  • If your mixture seems too wet after mixing, let it chill for 30 minutes and check again rather than adding more ingredients—the graham cracker crumbs absorb moisture and firm things up naturally.
  • Melted coconut oil swapped for butter creates a slightly different texture that some people prefer, though butter is the more authentic version.
