Instructions

  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together the butter, powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until combined.
  • Stir in the coconut, pecans, and cherries.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Using a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop, scoop out the candy and roll it into a ball, and place it on a parchment-lined tray.

  • Next, melt your almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  • Dip the balls in melted chocolate tapping off the excess chocolate and place them back onto the parchment paper.
  • Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until melted and smooth.
