Title: ALMOND JOY CANDY
Categories: Candies
Yield: 1 servings
1 cn Condensed milk; sweetened
-14 oz
2 oz Chocolate; unsweetened
1/4 ts Salt
1 ts Vanilla
3 c Coconut; shredded
45 Almonds; whole, salted
Preheat oven to 350F. In top of double boiler, combine
condensed milk, chocolate and salt. Cook over rapidly
boiling water; stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes, or
till until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir
in vanilla and coconut. Form cookies by dropping
teaspoons of mixture on well greased baking sheet, 1"
apart. Top each with a whole almond. Bake on middle
sheet of oven for 10-12 minutes, watching cookies
carefully after 8-9 minutes,as the bottom can get too
brown. Immediately remove cookies from pan with metal
spatula and cool on wax peper covered rack.
These taste a bit like the chocolate bars; hence the
name. They freeze well. from _Heartland: The Best of
