Martha Washington Balls Recipe - Food.com image

This candy is always made for Christmas at our house. They taste a bit like Almond Joy candy bars. They are very yummy. I really don't have any idea how many this recipe makes, but I know it is a lot. These make great gifts placed in a Holiday tin.

Total Time 2 hours

Prep Time 1 hours

Cook Time 1 hours

Yield 12 Dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened
8 ounces sweetened condensed milk
2 lbs confectioners' sugar

1 (24 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
2 (24 ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate chips
