Beijinho de Coco (Brasilian Candy) Recipe

Over medium-low heat, stir vigorously the sweetened condensed milk, grated coconut and egg yolks. Cook the mixture until it thickens enough to show the pan bottom during stirring. Pour the mixture in a greased dish and let it cool to room temperature. Take small amounts of the mixture with a teaspoon and make 1 1/2 inch balls. Roll the balls over granulated sugar to decorate and stuck a clove on the ball.

Hint: Grease your hands with margarine to make the balls easily.

Place the balls in candy cups to serve. They are great for birthday parties.
