haven't finished it just yet (they're drying but the sample I took tastes great. I did have trouble working with the mixture and added a bit more coconut (luckily I had some from the macaroons I'm planning to make to make it more stiff. I also used a 1 TBSP disher and pushed it real hard against the bowl to pack it down. So far everything seems to be working well. next time I will probably use less condensed milk though.

First, watch the video.
Use UNSWEETENED coconut.
If I had the nuts, I'd roll the balls in nuts after dipping instead.
Use twice as much coconut. Or half as much milk.
Mix and let set for 2 hours.
Use a mini ice cream scoop-the kind you squeeze and it pops out the dough.
So you don't have to handle it as much.
NOW! This is important !!! Use LATEX gloves. I started by squirting some PAM on them, but they stayed free of sticky residue so I don't think it's necessary. Quickly roll into balls. Here's where I shaped them into Mounds type nuggets. Put in freezer about an hour. Keeps them from falling apart while dipping. BTW: If you ever come across an electric fondue pot, these are great for dipping. I bought one a garage sale for .25 .It's great for melting chocolate.
Give it a try and don't be scared.
