Coconut Almond Balls
"chocolate covered coconut balls."
- Ready In:
- 37mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
75-100 balls
ingredients
- 2 (16 ounce) boxes confectioners' sugar
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 (14 ounce) package shredded coconut
- 1 1⁄2 cups chopped almonds
- 1 (12 ounce) package milk or (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
directions
- With an electric mixer cream together sugar & butter in a bowl. Add milk until well blended. Stir in almond extract, coconut & nuts (you may omit the nuts if you do not like them). Roll the candy filling into one inch balls and place on waxed paper. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Using a double boiler melt chocolate until smooth (you may also melt chocolate in the microwave according to the directions on the chocolate). I like to add approximately 2 Tbls of butter or shortening in the chocolate but this is not necessary to do so. Dip the balls in chocolate and let stand at room temperature until set.
- Store in a tightly sealed container and preferable in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I absolutely love to bake. I try new recipes all the time. <br /> <br />I live in Michigan & enjoy it in the Spring, Summer, & Fall. I'm not a fan of the Winter (after New Year's I'm ready for Spring). <br /> <br />I love being outside in the warmer months (hiking, walking, camping). I also like movies, football and reading a good book. <br /> <br />My favorite cookbook is Better Homes and Gardens - I've had it for years and use it a lot (some pages are so dirty you can hardly read them and the book is falling apart). <br /> <br />I try to eat healthy and stay in shape but just like everyone I have my slip-ups & sweets are my weakness.</p>
