1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, melted butter (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and sticky.
3️⃣ Form shapes:
For bite-sized treats, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheet.
Or shape into small bars, mounds, or balls with your hands.
4️⃣ Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. (They should be chewy in the middle and crisp on the outside!)
5️⃣ Cool completely on the baking sheet.
6️⃣ (Optional)Drizzle or dip in melted chocolate once cooled for a delicious finishing touch.
💛 Tips & Variations
Add a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit for texture.
For a no-bake version, simply chill the mixture in the fridge until firm, then shape and enjoy cold.
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week (or refrigerate for longer freshness).
🥄 Perfect for:
Quick desserts, last-minute guests, potlucks, or when that sweet craving hits and you want something amazing right now!
Would you like me to turn this into a no-bake version (you just mix and chill) or keep it as a baked treat for your blog?
