I learned how to make this at a Brazilian's birthday party.
They're usually small ping-pong-sized balls, but I made them a bit more compact this time. "Beijinho" is Portuguese for "kiss."

The amount of simmering is the key point!
It needs to be about the consistency of caramel.
Be careful not to let it burn. Occasionally take it away from the heat to check on it as you simmer. Recipe by Ery

Steps

1

Combine the condensed milk and margarine in a small pot (non-stick, if possible), and turn the heat on low. Simmer for 5~7 minutes while stirring with a spatula.
2

When it hardens a bit, turn off the heat so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Transfer to a container greased with margarine (not listed).
3

When it cools enough to handle, coat your hands in a bit of margarine (amount separate from listed ingredients) and roll into small balls. Coat in coconut flakes.
4

When coating with coconut, coat the dough balls with a bit of water to help the coconut stick.
5

If you over-simmer the mixture and it hardens, heat it up a bit in the microwave until it softens a little.
