Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

2 cups shredded coconut
3 cups finely chopped, lightly toasted pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 pounds powdered sugar
12 ounces melted chocolate for dipping
directions
Stir together butter, condensed milk, coconut, nuts and vanilla. Add enough powdered sugar to form a stiff dough. (You may not need all of the sugar.) Refrigerate until well chilled, for at least one hour and preferably overnight.
Form mixture into compact balls. Chill again, or freeze, before dipping.
Skewer each ball on a toothpick and dip in melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Place on baking parchment or waxed paper, remove toothpick, and set aside for chocolate to harden at room temperature.

I made these and loved them. It made 72 or so balls using the recipe as it reads to serve 24. You might want to put how many 1 inch balls it makes instead of how many people it serves because I did not know how many balls were assigned to each serving when it reads serves 24. But they were delicious and I will definitely make again next Christmas.
