Ingredients
• 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk

- Chill the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15–20 minutes.

- Decorate with red gel icing or candy eyes for a spooky finish. Chill until firm before serving.
Notes
For a no-bake version, skip baking and chill the shaped bites before dipping in chocolate. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
