Serves/Makes: 78
Ready in: 2-5 hrs

2 pounds powdered sugar

1 can (12 ounce size) sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups coconut*

1/4 cup butter, softened

***Coating***

16 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate chips
2 1/2 tablespoons shortening

Mix together all ingredients; chill. Form into 1-inch balls; chill again on waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Dip in a chocolate coating. Chill for another hour.

For Coating: Melt chocolate and shortening over low heat; stirring constantly (use 1 Tbls of shortening for every 6 oz. of chocolate).

*original recipe calls for 2 cans or 3/4 of a large bag of coconut. So 2 cup is a guess on my part, based on the size of a bag of coconut.
