Preparation

In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the chocolate according to package instructions.
Once firm, dip each ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
Place them back on the parchment paper and immediately add candy eyes and mini marshmallows or white chocolate for tails.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before serving, or place in the fridge for quicker setting.
