In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands, take small portions of the coconut mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the coconut balls to firm up.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and coconut oil (if using) over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Once the coconut balls are firm, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for an additional 15–20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, serve the chocolate coconut balls as a sweet treat or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
