Step 1

Line baking sheets with wax paper.

In a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, condensed milk, and butter. Stir in coconut and pecans. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, and chill for at least 2 hours.

In the top of a double boiler, melt chocolate morsels and paraffin over simmering water.

Using a wooden pick or candy dipper, dip coconut balls into chocolate. Place on lined baking sheets to set. Store in an airtight container.
