Joyful Almonds

I made this recipe for New Years.  Coconut, almonds and chocolate....YUM.  Make them egg shaped for easter.

  1 Cup Almond Extract, Toasted                                               5 Ounce Shredded Coconut

  3/4 Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk                                       2 Ounce Coconut Powder

  1 1/2 Tsp Almond Extract                                                        Chocolate Candy Coating Wafers

Chop the nuts and, in a bowl mix together the nuts, condensed milk, almond extract and coconut. Using your fingers, press the mixture into balls about 3/4-inch round. Place onto sheet trays and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

After the balls have set up, melt the chocolate wafers.  Dip into the chocolate to coat evenly and lightly. Place onto a parchment or foil lined sheet pan to dry.
