Goof Balls Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 can Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
2 (16 ounce) boxes powdered sugar
1/2 cup of imperial margarine or 1/2 cup butter (Imperial has less water in it)
1/2 piece paraffin wax
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups ground pecans
2 cups flaked coconut
1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

In a large bowl, mix Eagle Brand milk, sugar, and butter by hand (it's too thick for a mixer).
Add nuts, vanilla, and coconut and mix well.
Shape into 1 in.
balls and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet.
Chill balls until firm.
Melt parafin in a double boiler.
Add chips and stir until melted.
Be careful not to get any water in the chocolate or it will seize.
Dip balls with the help of a toothpick into the chocolate/parafin mixture.
Put back on the cookie sheet and using the toothpick, cover the hole on the top of the ball with a drop of chocolate.
After all the balls are dipped, put back in the refrigerator to chill.
Store in a cool dry place in an air tight container.
