@lydmama: Bala Baiana! These are a traditional Brazilian sweet and on the inside it’s a sweet creamy coconut filling with a sweet caramelized crunchy shell. They’re such a delicious treat and a must try!! These are perfect to take to gatherings. Filling: 1 tbsp unsalted butter 1 can sweetened condensed milk 2/3c shredded coconut Combine in a skillet and stir until thickened. Allow it to cool in the fridge or on the counter until you can easily handle it. Shape into balls. The caramelized shell: 1c sugar 1/2c water 1tsp vinegar (or lemon juice) Melt in a sauce pan and bring to boil, simmer until it turns an auburn color. Dip the balls in immediately, allow excess to drip off and place on a plate or parchment paper. They will harden pretty quickly! Enjoy!! #balabaiana #braziliansweet #Recipe #sweets #homemadecandy
