Now that you have your ingredients, it’s time to dive into making these No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Graham Balls!

Instructions

Combine the Base
- In a large mixing bowl, start by mixing the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract together. Trust me, the smell of that butter melting, amazing! (About 2 minutes).
Add the Goodies
- Next, stir in the graham cracker crumbs, dried coconut, and chocolate chips. Mix until everything is well combined, this part should be satisfying as you see all the goodies coming together (2-3 minutes, stirring frequently).
Chill Out
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for about an hour or in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. This step is important for making the mixture easier to handle when rolling into balls. You’ll be amazed at how firm and easy it is to work with after chilling!
Shape the Balls
- Once chilled, take heaping tablespoons of the mixture and shape them into small balls (about 1¼ inches in diameter). This is where it starts to feel like you’re crafting something special.
Roll ‘em Up
- Roll the balls in the extra graham cracker crumbs until they’re well coated. This adds a delightful crunch and keeps your hands from getting too sticky!
Final Chill
- Place the rolled balls back in the fridge until firm, which should take about 30 minutes to an hour. Just be careful! They might be tempting to snack on before they’re fully chilled.
Storing your Treats
- Keep these chocolate coconut graham balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week, if they even last that long! Good luck keeping your family away from them!
