Christmas Doce

1In a large saucepan, combine the condensed milk (2 cups), powdered chocolate (1 cup), butter (1 tablespoon), sugar (½ cup), and water (½ cup) over medium heat.

2Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, forming a soft dough-like consistency.

3Add the chopped nuts (1 cup), shredded coconut (1 cup), and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) to the mixture, stirring well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

4Continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches a fudge-like consistency and starts to come together into a ball.

5Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

6Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls or desired shapes, placing them on a parchment-lined tray to set.

7Allow the Christmas Doce to cool completely and firm up before serving or storing in an airtight container.
