Instructions:

1. Melt the chocolate:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

2. Mix the ingredients:

   • In a separate bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract (if using).

   • Stir in the melted chocolate until everything is well incorporated.

3. Shape the truffles:

   • Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls with your hands.

4. Chill:

   • Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

5. Serve:

   • Once chilled, enjoy! You can also roll them in extra coconut flakes, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts for extra texture and flavor.
