2 boxes powdered sugar
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups coconut flakes
2 cups chopped pecans or pecan pieces
2 sticks margarine, softened
1 tsp vanilla
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 stick paraffin wax
Mix sifted powdered sugar, condensed milk, coconut flakes, chopped pecans, margarine, and vanilla. Form into small balls; chill overnight on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Melt chocolate chips and wax in top of a double boiler. Double boiler should have water in bottom so chocolate does not scorch. Make sure you do not put wax into boiler by itself - it can catch fire.
Once completely melted, turn off heat under double boiler. Using a toothpick, dip balls into chocolate mixture and return onto parchment paper to harden. Makes approx. 100 balls.
Store in airtight container.
