Have anyone else made sweets for Christmas? I put the caramels in boxes and give to my family, along with chocolade truffles. One year, I made some Bounty Balls, they're also quite easy to make.

I found a new recipe for them.... I suppose the word "dessicated" means dried? Oh, can you use anything other than condensed milk? Only few shops have it.

3 cups dessicated coconut
200g sweetened condensed milk
1/2-3/4 cup icing sugar
1 tsp. vanilla essence
350g dark chocolate, melted

Combine the coconut and condensed milk in a large bowl. Add enough icing sugar to make a stiff mixture. Add the vanilla and stir until well combined. Roll into walnut sized balls and refrigerate overnight until hardened.Coat in melted chocolate and serve when set.
