HAZELNUT COCONUT BALLS (SERBIAN RAFAELO KUGLICE)
I almost hesitated putting "coconut" in the title, because I do not like coconut myself. In fact, no one in my family does. But these cookies are quite a treat. So easy to make, and each one has a toasted hazelnut in the center of the coconut ball. What a great, tasty combination! Try them. You won't be disappointed.

Steps:
- If you haven't purchased toasted, peeled hazelnuts, bake in 300 degree oven until the skin (peel) starts to fall off. If all of the peels do not come off entirely, that is OK.
- Make a thick syrup by cooking the water, butter, unsweetened coconut (2 1/2 cups) and sugar.
- Add the powdered milk to this mixture. Mix well, so that there are no lumps.
- Allow two hours to cool. (To speed up this process, I pop this in the refrigerator).
- Around each toasted hazelnut, put a little of the cooled mixture, forming them into balls, so that the hazelnut is in the center.
- Roll each ball in the remaining coconut.
- Recipe makes 60 - 100 balls, depending on the size.
Tips:
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the white chocolate and coconut. Good quality ingredients will result in a better-tasting candy.
- Fresh Coconut: If possible, use fresh coconut for the best flavor. If using dried coconut, soak it in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften it before using.
- Chill the Mixture: After mixing the coconut and condensed milk, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will make it easier to shape the candies.
- Use Gloves: When shaping the candies, use gloves to prevent your hands from getting sticky. Alternatively, wet your hands with cold water before handling the mixture.
- Patience: Making Rafaelo candies takes time and patience. Don't rush the process, and allow the candies to chill properly before coating them in chocolate.
Conclusion:
Rafaelo candies are a delicious and elegant treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a creamy white chocolate center, a crunchy coconut coating, and a delicate almond flavor, these candies are sure to impress. While they may take some time to make, the effort is well worth it. These candies are perfect for special occasions such as Valentine's Day, Christmas, or birthdays. They also make a great gift for friends and family. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make these delicious candies at home.
