Directions
Coconut Almond Joys, These do not look like Mounds or Almond Joys, but the taste is very similar. I make these every Christmas along with my cookies and they are very easy and quick to make. They are very pretty on a tray when placed in decorated mini muffin liners., Oh, thank you!!! these are FANTASTIC! They taste great, they’re super easy, and they are really cute! I’m “math-challenged” so I am going to post this for anybody else who struggles with cutting a recipe down: After I made one batch, I had lots of leftover ingredients but not enough for one more entire batch. The next step down was 2 C. coconut, 1-1/3 C. Confectioner’s Sugar and 1/3 C butter. used MORE chocolate to begin with, so I actually melted about 5 ounces and used most of it up. I have just eaten two and I’m not sure how I’m going to keep myself away from these so they can safely make it to the holiday cookie/candy swap they were intended for! : , Almond joy is one of my favourites so I had to try these. I didn`t have any almonds but still couldn`t wait to try them anyways. So, I added about a half tsp of almond extract instead. I did find that the balls were hard to form until I refrigerated the mixture for about 15-20 minutes. I also took the advice of others and added shortening to the chocolate. These will be going on my Xmas trays for sure. Absolutely delicious Karen, thank you!
