👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Coconut Mixture
In a large bowl, combine:

- Place on a parchment-lined tray
3. Chill

This step is essential to help them keep their shape when dipping.
4. Melt & Color the Coating
- Melt white chocolate in short intervals
- Divide into bowls
- Add pastel food coloring
- ⚠️ Use gel or oil-based coloring to avoid ruining the chocolate texture.
5. Dip the Coconut Balls
- Dip each ball into melted chocolate
- Remove excess coating
- Place back on parchment
6. Add the Fluffy Finish
Before the coating sets:
- Roll or sprinkle with shredded coconut
This creates the iconic “bunny tail” look 🐰
