Valentine's Day Truffles

Miro's delicieux Valentine's Day truffles are a perfect gift for someone special (even if that someone is you)!

What You'll Need:

Large mixing bowl
Spatula or large spoon for mixing
Small bowl
Dinner plate
15 vanilla wafer cookies
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 1/2 cups dried coconut
1 can of condensed milk

What to Do:

  1. Wash your hands.
  2. Place 1/2 cup of coconut in your small bowl and set it aside.
  3. Crush the vanilla wafer cookies. Tip: Put cookies into a sealed plastic sandwich bag. Gently hit the bag with a rolling pin or spatula. Leave some small chunks in there for a yummy crunch!
  4. Put the crumbs into the large bowl. Add cocoa, and then 1 cup of coconut. Mix the ingredients together with your spatula or spoon.
  5. Open the condensed milk can (with an adult's help). Stir the condensed milk into your mixed dry ingredients.
  6. Put the mixture into the fridge for 30 minutes—this stops it from getting really sticky.
  7. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls (makes about 15-20 balls). 
  8. Roll each ball into your small bowl of coconut, then place it on the plate. 
  9. Place your truffles into the fridge to set. (This takes about 30 minutes).
