Servings 12
Ingredients
1/4 cup raw almonds
3 tablespoons corn syrup
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups ORGANIC shredded coconut
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the almond o a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for about 10 min.
In a large bowl, stir together corn syrup, powdered sugar, melted butter, , shredded coconut and vanilla extract to form a thick paste.
Moisten hands slightly and form mixture into small cubes or roll into balls. place on a sheet of parchment paper.
In a medium, microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate by microwaving it at 15 second intervals, stir each time until it is smooth and melty.
Dip the coconut squares into the melted chocolate. Spread around the entire thing. Press a toasted almond into the top and allow to dry completely before serving.
Allow to cool at room temperature until chocolate hardens.
My Notes!
I had to add quite a bit more coconut oil. I felt it needed more syrup to make it stick together. I found putting them in the freezer for a few minutes before dipping them to be a good idea.
To get the original recipe check out CheekyKitchens version She make it easy to print out too.
