These are great. I made several variations and put on a platter at the holiday buffet. You can coat them in cocoa, icing sugar, nuts, toffee bits or more vanilla wafer crumbs as well as coconut. I like to double this recipe and keep it handy during the holidays. Thanks for sharing! ~V

I wasn't too sure what you meant by 1/4 C of milk chocolate - 1/4 C of shaved or what so I just used 2 ounces of chocolate. That seemed to work fine. They are a nice change of pace from bourbon balls.
