Easy to make and delicious. Easier to work with if coconut mixture is kept chilled. Will make again. five stars

Very yummy, veryy messy but, may get easier with practice and a real double boiler. I think maybe less sweetened milk bc they are so sweet, the SCM has 220g of surgar in the can, wow. I used the xylitol confectioners sugar for half, unsweetened coconut, and that woked great! Still a bit too sweet, so i sugest less sugar or less SCM and they might even be kind of healthy:) five stars

I have been searching for a "snowball" candy recipe and this one seemed close to what my husband described to me. I don't know if I didn't add enough icing sugar,coconut or what..but mine turned out to be flat,messy,gooey,sticky messes. I had put them in the fridge to set up for over an hour before rolling them into balls but they flattened on the cookie sheet and were very difficult to roll into a ball shape. Any ideas? His ex use to make them and they are his favorite..thanks! one star

I have made these many times through the years. Try adding pecan or almond pieces.( Makes them taste like almond joys). Also think chocolate is easier to work with using parrafin rather than shortening. four stars

Instead of solid shortning, use parafin in the chocolate. Save the fat. five stars
