My coconut truffles 
Ingredients (approximately 30 truffles)

  • 7 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 pound white chocolate bark, melted
  • finely chopped nuts (I used walnuts)  to decorate, if desired
Instructions
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, salt and vanilla extract.  Stir in the unsweetened coconut.  Freeze mixture for 30 minutes.
  • Form coconut mixture into 1-inch balls (I use a small  scoop), place on a parchment lined pan, then freeze for an additional 15 minutes.

  • Note: The coconut balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer.

Well I thought it was about time for a little change. So I am making new things for my house one piece at a time. No Hurry Here!!! lol so here is a new grocery bag holder I finished up and also still working on the bread box. I just have to figure out what font I want to use for my BREAD BOX on the front.  I didn't make a tutorial on the grocery bag holder although here is a link to one that is basically the same idea. :) They are very easy to make if you sew. 

How to Sew a Hanging Grocery Plastic Baggy Holder in 30 mintues or less. ( I just added the bow to the front :) ) You can even add a label or just about anything. 


Here is how mine turned out!!!! And some other ones I have made in the past. Have fun!!!!
