Halloween Coconut Kiss of Death Bites

In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until a sticky, moldable dough forms.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze the coconut balls for 15–20 minutes to help them firm up and hold their shape.
Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until completely smooth.
Dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork or toothpick to coat evenly. Let any excess drip off before returning to the tray.
Warm the raspberry jam slightly in the microwave (about 10–15 seconds) until it’s pourable but not too runny.
Drizzle the raspberry jam over the white chocolate-coated bites using a spoon or piping bag to create a “bloody” effect.
Refrigerate until the chocolate is set and the bites are firm. Serve chilled for best texture and dramatic presentation.

Bloody Almond Joys: Press a toasted almond into the center of each coconut ball before rolling to mimic a Halloween-themed Almond Joy.
Chocolate Version: Use dark or milk chocolate instead of white for a more gothic, rich twist.
Spiked Bites: Add a teaspoon of raspberry liqueur or coconut rum to the dough for an adults-only variation.
Vegan Option: Use plant-based condensed milk, dairy-free white chocolate, and vegan jam to make them suitable for all diets.

Work quickly when dipping to prevent the chocolate from setting before all bites are coated.
If the white chocolate thickens while dipping, microwave it for another 10 seconds and stir to loosen.
Use a piping bag or a resealable bag with the corner snipped off for more precise jam drizzling.
These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container, making them perfect for prepping ahead of your Halloween celebration.

Serve these eerie treats on a black platter or spooky-themed tray for maximum Halloween drama — just be prepared for them to disappear in minutes.
