Almond Joy Bites

This candy care for is rattling quick as well as tardily to brand as well as it tastes VERY much similar an Almond Joy candy bar (only I think they are even better).

Just a few ingredients as well as no baking makes this recipe a existent winner as well as they expect as well as hence pretty. Great for gift giving or simply for snacking.


1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
8 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

12 ounce pocketbook of milk chocolate chips (see note)
1/4 loving cup toasted almonds (optional)(see note)

Put the coconut, sweetened condensed milk as well as extracts inwards the nutrient processor as well as pulse until the mixture is finely chopped as well as thick as well as sticky.

Put 24 mini cupcake papers into a mini cupcake pan as well as laid upwards aside.

Melt the chocolate chips  (until smooth)in the microwave, on xxx 2nd blasts (stirring good later each xxx seconds). My microwave took a full of well-nigh 75 seconds, or two 1/2 blasts).

Spoon about one teaspoon melted chocolate onto the bottom of each mini cupcake newspaper as well as polish it around a little.

Next, (using slightly damp hands) roll the kokosnoot mixture into balls well-nigh the size of a grape and  sit them on locomote yesteryear of the melted chocolate center. Flatten ball (just a little) amongst your finger.

Top coconut ball with about two teaspoons* melted chocolate. That's it!! *just plenty to completely comprehend the coconut...but non also thick.

Set the candy inwards the refrigerator for well-nigh 10 minutes to "set" the chocolate. It couldn't live easier!!!  Makes 24 candies.

NOTE: Any flavour chocolate chips volition work. We similar milk chocolate, but semi-sweet or night would work well too.

NOTE: I don't seat nuts inwards this candy, but if you lot desire them, teach for it. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 whole toasted almond on locomote yesteryear of the coconut layer works well.

NOTE: I proceed these inwards the fridge, although it's non necessary. It simply depends on how hot it is where you lot live.

ENJOY !!!
