These candies disappear just as fast as I put them out. They're a snap to whip up and make a beautiful presentation on any holiday cookie plate. I mound them high and sprinkle with coconut…then watch them vanish! —Mary Ann Marino, West Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Use Chocolate as Chips“After Easter, I put leftover solid or hollow chocolate bunnies or eggs in a plastic bag and pound them into small pieces,” relates Geraldine B. of Kersey, Pennsylvania. “I use them in place of chocolate chips in recipes.”

I had to add a little more sweetened condensed milk than the recipe called for. Really easy to make. :)

Oh my GOODNESS! These are delicious. I hope they make it to my job tomorrow. I toasted sliced almonds whiched broke easily when mixing. I uses small pampered chef scoop- too BIG- will find smaller ballet maybe melon ballet next time

I only gave this 4 stars because it didn't seem like 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk was enough. Mine was so dry that I added a little extra. Next time I would try the 1/2 cup and mix it with the powdered sugar first then stir in the coconut. I also skipped the chopped almonds and put a whole almond in the center. These are so rich but very tasty! I coated half the batch in Hershey's milk chocolate chips and the other half in bittersweet chocolate for a contrast like the name brand candy bar.

My 8 year-old daughter's favorite candy is Almond Joy so I pulled out this recipe to make with her. So simple she was able to do most of it herself and the result was impressive!

I love the combination of coconut, almonds, and chocolate, and these candies are such a treat. I got carried away with chopping the almonds in my blender, and ended up with ground almonds instead. I went ahead and used them in the recipe.....these turned out delicious! I did find that the chocolate coating seemed to stay a little sticky. I may use chocolate candy coating next time.

I've made this recipe for a bake sale and I am always asked for the recipe. It is a winner.
