1/4 cup (1/2 stick) coconut oil or butter, softened
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk, separated
2 tablespoons powdered dry milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup whole almonds
2 bars(200g) good quality semi-sweet dark chocolate
2 tablespoons more butter or coconut oil
Instructions
Combine butter, vanilla, 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk in medium mixing bowl.Add powdered dry milk, powdered sugar, and coconut and mix until a dough forms.
Now form tablespoon sized chunks into rectangles and place on parchment lined tray. Spread a small amount of sweetened condensed milk over each as a sort of glue for the almonds. Place two almonds on top of each candy and press down gently to stick. Place tray in refridgerator for 1 hour to chill. Move to freezer for about 20-30 minutes before dipping.
Melt chocolate and butter or coconut oil in small saucepan or double boiler over low heat. Remove tray from freezer and dip each candy into chocolate and turn to coat. Use a fork or similar utensil to remove to tray. After dipping allow chocolate to dry and cool. I usually put it in the fridge.
Ahh, very cool, a request for the recipe:
