Eagle Balls

My grown sons still can't say the name of these without snickering. UGH! Whats a woman to do? These are slammin good. Kinda taste like Almond Joys. This is a once a year Christmas treat. 

Eagle Balls

1 stick butter, melted

4 Cups chopped pecans

1 1/2 Cups shredded coconut

1 can(14oz) Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk

1 Tbl. vanilla

5 1/2 Cups powdered sugar

18oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 bar paraffin

In large bowl mix pecans, coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, powdered sugar. Pour melted butter over and mix well. Roll into 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls (or as big as you want them to be)  and place on cookie sheets covered with wax paper. Place a toothpick in each one. Then refrigerate 3 hours (I put mine in the freezer to speed up the process.) 

In double boiler melt chocolate with paraffin and mix well. Using toothpick you inserted in balls, dip in chocolate to coat. Let it run off and then swirl it till it stops dripping. Place on wax paper and return to fridge or freezer long enough for chocolate to harden. I also melt white chocolate chips with paraffin and do the quick swipe over the top to make them look real pretty.

Store in container for up to 2 weeks.
