      Hey sneh! I am in love love with ur blog. Cant wait to try most of your recipes. I really wanna try this one. But i am having one doubt. Should i use freshly grated coconut as coconut flakes or sweetened coconut flakes which i get from the store? Please do reply. I am waiting. Thanks. 🙂

        Thanks Sadia! The flakes are unsweetened. I have made this with fresh coconut (make sure you squeeze as much liquid as you can out of the fresh grated coconut). You will probably need more, I think I used about 3-4 cups of freshly grated coconut, enough to make it pliable and able to shape into a ball when a bit firm in the fridge (about an hour). xx

      Is the desiccated coconut sweetened or unsweetened? This is my first time using desiccated coconut! Thank you!

      I finally got around to making these, but they did not turn out. 🙁 Even though I let the mixture settle in the fridge for almost 6 hours, it never firmed up. What did I do wrong?

      Do you put both of the coconut ingredients in the chocolate and mix well before rolling it into balls? Or are you supposed to roll the balls in flakes after you make the balls. I'm a little confused as to which. In your pictures, it looks like you rolled the balls to put flakes on the outside, but the instructions seem to say to put all of the coconut in the chocolate.

      I don't bake/cook much so pardon such a specific question. Thanks!

        No problem at all Jennifer. You do exactly as the recipe says, mix coconut and chocolate well before rolling into balls. Since there is desiccated coconut AND coconut flakes in the recipe, when you roll the balls the coconut flakes (which are wispier and bigger) stick out from the balls giving it texture and making it appear as if the balls were rolled in flaked coconut. Hope that clears it out 🙂

      I made these as part of the dessert for my parent's anniversary, and they are really good! I made a lot of adjustments...I put the coconut-chocolate mixture in the freezer for about 2 hours before rolling them in more coconut. And now, I have a quart-sized container of these babies in our freezer! Thank you so much for sharing this simple and addicting recipe.

      Oh those looks amazing. I am sure if used to decorate cakes, it would be small little surprises. I would have never guessed. You have a beautiful blog, by the way.

      Yum! Two of my favourite things combined into one delicious result. And easy to make, I've made them with dark chocolate before (leftover cake icing too) but I reckon white chocolate would be much better! Gorgeous pics, as always.

      Maybe they would have looked great on the cake, but by the sound of it, who wants to share these little tidbits? Probably not really enough to go around anyway...
