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