coconut balls

Round sweet treats

Coconut balls are small round confections made primarily from shredded coconut, typically bound with sweetened condensed milk and sometimes coated in chocolate or rolled in additional coconut.

They require no baking and appear frequently at holiday gatherings and potlucks: She made three dozen coconut balls for the Christmas party.

Also called coconut bonbons or coconut truffles.
