14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1 tablespoon of salted butter + more for buttering a plate
2 egg yolks
40 dried pitted prunes
2 tbsp crystal sugar,for coating the candies

Instructions

In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine condensed milk, coconut flakes, butter and egg yolks over medium-low heat.
Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture is ticker and you can 'see' the bottom of the saucepan, +/- 20 minutes.
Remove from heat immediately and pour into a buttered plate. Let cool to room temperature. Some people like to refrigerate them to make rolling easier.
Lightly butter your palm hands, scoop out the mixture with a teaspoon and roll it.
Cut each prune in half but do not separate halves.
Fill them with the coconut mixture, roll them in crystal sugar, and place in small paper candy cups.
