Look out Almond Joy... these are delicious! I like these better than the real Almond Joy candy bars! My mother-in-law has frozen them before too and said that they freeze great! Once again, the recipe is taken from a Taste of Home magazine.
Chocolate Coconut Candies
1 3/4 C confectioners sugar
1 3/4 C flaked coconut
1 C chopped almonds
1/2 C sweetened condensed milk
2 C (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 T shortening
In a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, coconut, almonds and milk. Shape into 1 in. balls. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip balls in the chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 2 1/2 dozen

I am so excited! Thanks for the recipe, I'll tell you how they came out!
It's funny you should post this recipe.....I just ate the last of the "Almond Joys" from the freezer. Sad, it's taken this long to finish them; they're really good. But after nearly a year in the freezer, they taste just as good! Can't beat the coconut,nuts, and chocolate. Thanks for posting this recipe.
I LOOOOOOVE coconut!! Can't wait to try it!
