Ingredients
  • 4 c (8 1/2−oz) shredded coconut
  • 1/4 c Light corn syrup
  • 1 pk (11 1/2−oz) milk chocolate pieces
  • 1/4 c Vegetable shortening
  • 26 Whole natural almonds (1−oz)

Directions
  1. Line two large cookie sheets with waxed paper. Set large wire cooling rack
  2. on paper; set aside.
  3. Place coconut in large bowl; set aside.
  4. Place corn syrup in a 1−cup glass measure. Microwave on high (100%) 1 minute
  5. or until syrup boils. Immediately pour over coconut. Work warm syrup into
  6. coconut using the back of a wooden spoon until coconut is thoroughly coated.
  7. This takes a little time, and yes, there is enough syrup.
  8. Using 1 level measuring tablespoon of coconut, shape into a ball by
  9. squeezing coconut firmly in palm of one hand, then rolling between both
  10. palms. (HINT: Measure out all of the coconut then roll into balls.) Place 2
  11. inches apart on wire racks. Let dry 10 minutes. Reroll coconut balls so
  12. there are no loose ends of coconut sticking up.
  13. Place milk chocolate and shortening in a 4−cup glass measure or 1 1/2 quart
  14. microwave−safe bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture can
  15. be stirred smooth and is glossy; stirring once or twice.
  16. Working quickly, spoon 1 level measuring tablespoon of the chocolate
  17. over each coconut ball, making sure chocolate coats and letting excess
  18. chocolate drip down onto waxed paper. While chocolate coating is still soft,
  19. lightly press whole almond on top of each. Let stand to set or place
  20. in refrigerator. Store in a single layer in airtight container.
  21. Keeps best if refrigerated. Makes 26.
