Instructions

Step 1: Pour 1/4 cup of water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. 

Step 2: Mix all the ingredients (excluding 1 cup of coconut) and add them to the boiling water. 

Step 3: Boil for roughly 25 to 30 minutes until the mixture becomes very sticky, resembling syrup.

Step 4: Prepare your cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Use a spoon or spatula, drop one portion onto the baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Allow them to cool for 2 hours.

Step 5: Scrape the sticky mix off the parchment paper with a spatula and add it to a mixing bowl.

Step 6: Add the final cup of coconut and mix it well with your hands.

Step 7: Roll into 1-inch balls with enough coconut to make sure they are no longer sticky.

Enjoy right away, or refrigerate for a couple of hours for a firmer treat.
