Description

 These spooky bite-sized treats combine chewy coconut, rich chocolate, and a surprise candy center. Perfect for Halloween parties or dessert tables.


Ingredients

 • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 24 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
• 8 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate, melted
• Red gel icing or candy eyes (optional for decoration)


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and condensed milk until thick and sticky. 
  2. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture, flatten it slightly, and place a Hershey’s Kiss in the center. 
  3. Shape the coconut mixture around the chocolate to form a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture. 
  4. Chill the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15–20 minutes. 
  5. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden. 
  6. Let cool completely, then dip each bite in melted chocolate and place back on parchment to set. 
  7. 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.
