Almond Coconut Candies

Yuu-uum! These are delish and my only note is that the recipe makes a lot so you should make sure you have neighbors or friends to share them with or you'll eat them all yourself.

Almond Coconut Candies

4-1/2 C powdered sugar

3 C flaked coconut

1 C sweetened condensed milk

1/2 C butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla

60 whole unblanched almonds

Frosting:

1-1/2 C powdered sugar

1/2 C baking cocoa

1/2 C butter, melted

3 Tbsp hot milk

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on greased cookie sheets. Press an almond on top of each ball. Chill for 1 hour.

Combine the frosting ingredients until smooth; immediately frost tops of candies. Chill until frosting is firm.

Store in the refrigerator.

Yield: 5 dozen
