- Hey, people! ✨
I am so glad you are here! ❤️
💬 Today I am showing you how I made those delicious coconut candies (known in Brazil as Bala Baiana or Bala de Vidro). The other day I made them for the first time and posted it on Tiktok and everyone went crazy about it (how could you not?! they are - indeed - amazing!) so I thought I would make them again and show you the whole process of how I made them!
Disclaimer: this recipe is obviously not mine - it has been around for a long time and has a different name in different countries. I am just sharing how I made them, and how it worked for me!
The video shows the whole process but below 👇🏽 you can skip to whichever part you would like to watch. Enjoy! 😊

🧑🍳 If you need the ingredients and measurements, here you go:
👉 COCONUT KISSES:
1 CAN OF CONDENSED MILK - 14oz
1 TBSP OF UNSALTED BUTTER
3-4oz OF UNSWEETENED COCONUT FLAKES (this will be to your liking, can add more or less, or even skip it)
👉 SUGAR COATING:
1 CUP OF SUGAR
1/2 CUP OF WATER
1 TBSP OF WHITE VINEGAR
RECIPE:
COCONUT KISSES (Beijinho de Côco):
In a pan, mix 1 can of condensed milk (14oz),
1 tbsp of unsalted butter and about 3-4oz of unsweetened coconut flakes. Cook it on medium heat, stirring it constantly until the mixture reduces and is not sticking to the pan. Put the mixture on a greased plate and let it cool. With greased hands, make it into balls (about 1tbsp of mixture for each ball).
SUGAR COATING:
In a pan, mix 1 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of water and 1 tbsp of white vinegar. Stir well, then cook on high heat (without stirring) until it turns into an amber/honey color (this should take about 12-15minutes). Watch it at all times. As soon as it turns amber color, turn the off and dip each ball into the caramel. Place them on a plate and let them cool. Work fast so that you are done before the caramel hardens or burns. The caramel is super hot, so be careful!
Store it in airtight container.
No refrigerator (it makes the sugar sticky).

the vinegar is an acid, you can also use lemon juice. the acid helps the caramel from crystalizing
Thank you for the info!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just made these. It came out great. I added some cinnamon and nutmeg to the Condense milk and coconut to add a little extra spice flavor . I didnt dip the whole ball into the sugar at the end because when it get hard it's like biting a lollipop and I like all my teeth lol . Instead I drizzled a little on top to still give it a crunch . 😋
Yummmm 🤤 sounds amazing!! I made them again this weekend too! So good!
@LARYSSA MEIRA Yummy . Thanks for the amazing recipe ❤️
Did the same.. oh Gosh the yummiest desert i ever want to eat 😻😻😻😻😻😻

Omg thanku so much for showing this recipe again step by step. I made these a couple of days ago and was disappointed i didn't get them, so Crunchy, so yay, the second time I Succeed ❤
SO GLAD IT WORKED OUT!!!! They are a must-try!!!
I made them with brown sugar. ^_^ They taste so good and can be eaten just like that without the coating. It tastes like Puerto Rican dulce de coco.
Yes! In Brazil, without the sugar coating, its called beijinho de coco! Sooo good!!
Omg I’m so excited I remember your original video. I googled viral coconut condensed milk and got this video. Yay
So glad you found this videoooo!! ❤️ ai hope you love the candy as much as I do!! My allll time favoriteeee 🤤🔥
Hahah I did the same!
Omgoodness! The things you can do with this recipe are just flooding my mind! This looks so gooood my gawwwwwd
Yum 😋 I’m definitely making these 🤗
I greatly thank you for doing this in English!! I've done clicked on many one after another even their subtitles were another language & I understand but there would be so many more view's we that live in US don't speak every language it would be quite amazing to be able to for sure!
Oh I can't wait to make these! Thank you for sharing the recipe ❤
You are welcome!! I hope you love themmm! ❤️
it looks and sounds so good.
I will definitely be giving these a try!
Love coconut 😋 tyfs
Sooo worth it! 😍 I can’t wait to make it again 😰😭
Finally getting around to making these and decided I'm going to include these in my little Christmas yummy bags to give out to my neighbors instead of the clear for the coatng I'm going to make three batches one of different colors and they're going to look like Christmas ornaments I figured I share my little Stoner idea!
Omgg I looove the ideaaaaa!!! I am pretty sure everyone will be AMAZED!
Definitely making these tonight…I love coconut!
Hope you enjoy!! 🥰🥰
Your a hoot. I would make them just to watch you again. They look delicious
Use a candy thermometer- caramel should reach hard crack stage at 300 - 310 degrees F, gives a more consistent coating on all of the candies
I just made it and it’s to die for!
Sooo glad you liked it!!!! I AGREEEE!!! 🤤
Thank you for the link -- excited to try the recipe

Just discovered this and I’m going to make some.
Perfect for the New Year’s celebrations.

Hellooo from Iowa!! 😍😍😍 Thank you so much! I hope you love it!! 🤤
I laughed so hard when the candy exploded 💥 😂 they look so good!! Thank you for sharing!
Hahahahha I was noooot expecting it to just explode like that 😂😂😂
I saw you tic tok video and had to find you on you tube. These look amazing
Thank you!! I have been obsessed with those! So good!
I'm making this tonight. Just got my son go bed. This looks so good!!🥲🥲 Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Yasss! I am sure you will love it! I can’t wait to make it again! 🤤
I made these for the first time with the intent of sharing 😂😂... Guess I'm going to be making them again!!! So good!! Into the condensed milk I added 1 tsp of Coconut Extract 😋
This looks amazing...I LOVE coconut!
Same!! It is sooooo good! 🤤 We already ate it all 😂😰
These look delicious.
I saw the TikTok and I googled you.
Thanks. 🤤
They are sooo good! 🤤 I can’t wait to make them again! 🤭 Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️
Oi Laryssa. Adorei assistir a receita com medidas daqui dos Estados Unidos. Vou tentar fazer a bala baiana. Obrigada 😊
Obrigada! Faz que vale super a pena! É uma delicia! ❤️
I’ve been seeing this EVERYWHERE and finally made them. THANK GOD THE SUGAR COAT WAS SO HART TO GET THROUGH. Because I ended up eating all the messed up ones (the whole batch) just like that. If it was easy I’d be making these WAY too often
Off topic. Your hair is gorgeous. Love the color
Nope couldn’t make the hardy candy part - kept being clear in the middle and amber on the outside then suddenly went burnt and set all the fire alarms off 😂 so i melted chocolate and dipped the balls into that and now have home made bounty bites 😍
Your burner isn't evenly heating then. If you have the old fashioned coils like I do, it's a challenge. I ended up making this at my aunt's house, on her glass top stove, and it worked like a charm.
saw this on FB and Googled you right away! There goes my diet!!!
Hahahaha same here!!!
Followed you over from FB. I'm going to make coconut for my son and chocolate with walnuts for hubs.
Yassss!!!! How did it come out?
The sugar coating is almost like what I make for peanut brittle. Can't wait to try these ❤
Soooo goood
I love your accent 🥰
Thank you!!!! ❤️
It looks so sinfully delicious. Going to make them for my family. I am a diabetic. But maybe just 1 won't hurt
Oh wow thank so much 💖 Valentine's Day ❤️ going to earn a lot of money with my version blessing girl
YASS!!! You got this! People will absolutely love it! 😍
@@LARYSSAMEIRA where you live I'm come from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 but I'm in Nebraska so you close right because your brand ingredients from for hyvee?
@@deliciasboricuasennebraska2596 I am from Brazil, but I live in Iowa!! YESS good old hyvee! 😝
@@LARYSSAMEIRA very close I'm in Nebraska
@@deliciasboricuasennebraska2596 that is awesome! I have some friends there, and I worked there this summer - Omaha!
Omg im so glad that I came across this. These are all my fav flavors, I know this might end up being my fav candy.
Question! How many Oz or Ml is the can of condensed milk that you used?
Ohhh you will soooooo love this!!! Be ready to have a new addiction! 😩🤤🤭 my can is 14oz! This candy is also amazing with just the filling itself! Take a little taste when making the little balls! 😝 In Brazil, without the sugar coating it is called “Beijinho de Coco”, people normally eat either just with a spoon or roll the balls onto some of the coconut flakes! And with the sugar coating like I showed in the video it is called Bala Baiana, or Bala de Vidro! SO SO YUMMY! 😍 I hope you love it! And thank you for watching and leaving a comment! ❤️
Thank you.
Thank you for watching! Let me know how you like it! ❤️
Oh mann there's something exactly like thismin the Philippines but I could never find it in Canada. I think I'll just have to make them myself! Thank you🎉😂
Aren’t they delicious? It is so worth making them! I am making them this weekend for my graduation! 😍 CAN’T WAIT!
Just made them now, and I used toothpick for each to easily soak them in caramel.
Yummm!! How did you like them? 😋
Question, if I've made it too watery and already fridgerated it, do I have to start over again, or can I put it back onto the oven and try again?
Thank you! I'll try this, my middle child lives coconut. Can I substitute the vinegar with lemon juice?
I think it should work! Its to keep the sugar from crystallizing
You have that the coconut is optional so I was curious if I could use cream of coconut instead? I love coconut flavor just not so much the consistency.
Can i leave it overnight? Out or inside the fridge? Will it still be good?? Thank you for sharinggg💓
Yes! Leave it outside! Inside the fridge it gets sticky. Ive never been able to have them for more than 3 days 😂 we eat them all fast! But they should be good for a while!
Ok I'm tempted to try making these but I'm super curious about the taste.... is it that good??
I love them sooooo much!! 😭😂 I swear I could eat the whole batch in one sitting lol for me it’s absolutely worth it but you will need to try it for yourself to see if u like it!
Can I substitute the coconut with something else, or leave it altogether?
I just made them and my sugar was that color and the ball it made in the water that I tested firmed a hard ball. But it still came out chewy 😭😭😭. But it was still good lol
Ohhh what about brigadeiro balls dipped in the coating? Then you can have two different flavors! Mm....
I made these today, and here are my observations:
1. DELICIOUS!!!!! I didn't think the crackle would make a difference in these. I thought it was just kind of for effect, but boy, was I wrong! It really added to how good this was!! And the coating wasn't hard on my teeth. It's a thin layer that you can crush with your fingers. Not hard on my teeth AT ALL.
2. I will use unsweetened coconut next time.
3. The sugar crackle - use a candy thermometer if you're not sure, and DO NOT go by time. Your oven and even the kind of pan you use will affect the speed at which it comes to a boil. Mine was ready in about 5 minutes. Also, it will continue to cook even after you take it off the heat, so work in small batches with the bonbons. Once it gets slightly beyond that initial golden color, you'll end up with a burned taste. It happens so fast. I got through about 6 or 8 bonbons before it got darker and tasted slightly burnt. I still ate it, and it was ok, but not as good as the first few. It's better to make a bunch of balls, pop them in the fridge and work with just a few at a time, making more of the crackle as you go.
I'm about to try it without coconut next, just so I can see if it will work.
Sooo glad you liked it!!! Its my all times favorite! 🔥🔥
Could you please type the recipe for me? I have a hard time hearing. In your TH-cam short, my neighbor said that you said that cream could be added in on the first part. Could you please explain? Also, my neighbor said that the send part called for 1 cup of sugar but she said that you mentioned 2 cups of sugar. Again, please explain. Thank you so very much! You are a dear and I love your hair!
Hey! Absolutely!
👉 About the heavy cream: on this video I mention that if you make it and it is too sweet for you, you can add a little bit of heavy cream to it - about 5-8oz. If you do add, it will just take a little longer to get the mixture to the thick consistency you need to roll it into balls. The taste should be super similar, just a bit less sweet.
👉 As for the sugar, on the short I explained that the first time I used 2 cups of sugar to make the caramel coating and I had too much left over so I started using only 1 cup and that was the perfect amount!
👉 Now on to the recipe! 😍
🥥 COCONUT KISSES (Beijinho de Côco):
In a pan, mix 1 can of condensed milk (14oz),
1 tbsp of unsalted butter and about 3-4oz of unsweetened coconut flakes. Cook it on medium heat, stirring it constantly until the mixture reduces and is not sticking to the pan. Put the mixture on a greased plate and let it cool. With greased hands, make it into balls (about 1tbsp of mixture for each ball).
🍬 SUGAR COATING:
In a pan, mix 1 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of water and 1 tbsp of white vinegar. Stir well, then cook on high heat (without stirring) until it turns into an amber/honey color (this should take about 12-15minutes). Watch it at all times. As soon as it turns amber color, turn the heat off and dip each ball into the caramel. Place them on a plate and let them cool. Work fast so that you are done before the caramel hardens or burns. The caramel is super hot, so be careful!
Store it in airtight container.
No refrigerator (it makes the sugar sticky).
Hope this helps! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Thank you soooo much! I CAN'T wait to try them! They look incredible!
I was very nervous making the sugar coating the smell of the vinegar was what I smelled the most while it was boiling and what seemed like forever to get the amber color was definitely worth the wait. 😂
Yesss!! Same! I leave it on high and it takes almost 15min! Feels like foreverrrrr! But it’s so worth it at the end!
Same premise as making the syrup for candied apples!don't tell me you never made candied apples😂
What can I add other then coconut . I just don’t like coconut but I’m definitely trying this
I will try it with hazelnut or almonds. I like coconut but I don’t always like the consistency so I will try these two 😊
How long do I keep in the freezer before but the sugar coat
I leave it for about 10min just to get it cool enough to roll them into balls. You can also let it cool out of the freezer but it takes way longer
Any suggestions for substitute for coconut?
Some people have been using nuts! You can also use chocolate powder (basically make brigadeiros). About 2 tbsp
after the coating is ready did you turn it off? i didnt and my sugar started burning before i got done
Yes. I suggest turning off and work fast. It helps to have someone throwing in the balls and you coat and remove them (or vice-versa)
I tried making those 2 times and each time I couldn’t get the consistency you have, and it’s always still sticking to the pan, do you have an idea why ??
Make sure to add 1 tbsp of butter and to be constantly stirring. Put the heat on medium to high - I normally put it more towards high.
Should the little balls be sticky? Not sure id I cooked it long enough.
The coconut one yes, use pam or butter on your hands to help. The final sugar costed balls no. It should be dry
I tried these and I think I did something wrong. They are delicious but the coating is very sticky and could pull a filling out. Any suggestions?
Maybe it wasn’t ready yet. Try to stop a tiny bit of it on a cup of water. It should be ready when it crystallizes once dropped in water. Also, I find that if you store it in the refrigerator it gets sticky.
Drop* not stop 😂
Are you supposed to stir the sugar while it’s caramelizing?
No. Leave it until it gets that amber color
Runs to store
YASS!! You will not regret! 🤤
Can you make the balls a day ahead and then make the caramel the next day?
Yes!!
I would even recommend trying one of the balls by itself! Its delicious too! 😝
What if I only have salted butter? Would that ruin it?
No, that works too!
I made them and they were a huge hit.....The only problem I had was when i put them on pam spayed paper plate they still stuck to the plate and I had to pull they off with a fork😒
Omg! I made them again this weekend and that happened to me. I don’t know why this time it got stuck like that. Maybe some baking sheet with pam?! Ill try that next 😂
@@LARYSSAMEIRA Thank you so much.....your new big fan hahaha
Can this be done in the microwave?
I dont think so 😭
I think I waited too long. My first 2 came out lighter and it quickly turned super dark so some of them are dark brown. Haven't tried them yet but I'm worried about the dark ones.
will it be ok without the coconut .I don't like coconut
Yes. You can skip it or substitute for chocolate powder or nuts
@@LARYSSAMEIRA thank you
We call it yema
How much coconut and how much condensed milk?
1 can condensed milk and 1.5 cups of sweetened or unsweetened coconut flakes.
Didn't come out the same as in the video 😩. When melting butter and condensed milk, brown particles appeared even when stirring constantly. Then when dipped the balls in the syrup, they'd break apart inside the pan 😣
Printable recipe?
Hey!
The recipe is written out on the description of the video. See if that works ❤❤
You didn’t say when to put in the milk!
It only takes condensed milk. And you put it in right away with the butter and coconut flakes.
And I was misguided into making these again!!! 😁 I tweeked it by adding cocoa powder .....sigh!!! My poor waistline!
Soooooo good right?? Hahaha i cant wait to make some for the holidays! Might need to try with cocoa and suffer a little with you 😂😂 *our poor waistline *
I tried and failed 😢 thanks for sharing.
Ohhh nooo! What happened? Was it the sugar part or the coconut part?
And no one ia going to mention that it is impossible to clean?
To clean the pot just fill it up with water and let it boil. Then just wash normally. Or, you can also just let it soak in water for some time. ❤️
You're evil for telling us this!
Soooooo evil!
But it's awesome.....Thank you! ❤
I could not get my sugar mixture right the first batch I burned because it went from clear to dark brown second batch was clear when I did the water test 🙄
Became Extremely Sweet after the sugar coating🥴
