Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
- Sweetened Condensed Milk - I recommend using full fat (not skim or light) sweetened condensed milk as it sets firmer. Nestle is my preferred brand.
- Chilling the balls - if you don't freeze the balls before dipping them into the melted chocolate, they will be too soft and will fall apart. Don't skip this step!
- Dipping the balls in chocolate - place the melted chocolate into a small bowl or ramekin. Use two small spoons to quickly toss the balls (one at a time) through the melted chocolate until they are completely coated. Allow any excess to drip off before placing onto a flat tray.
- Store - the Bounty Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze - the balls in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.
