Famous Coconut-Almond Balls

Ingredients

• Coconut meat

  Nuts, dried (desiccated), sweetened, flaked, packaged

  4 cup or 340g

• Semisweet chocolate

  Candies

  12 oz (approx 60 pcs) or 340g

• Coconut oil

  ¼ cup or 55g

• Almonds

  Nuts, raw

  26 almond or 31g

• Corn syrups

  Light

  ¼ cup or 85g

Directions

1. Line two cookie sheets or a large flat surface with waxed paper and place a large cooling rack on top. Place coconut in a large bowl.
2. Heat corn syrup for one minute in the microwave, until the syrup boils. Pour immediately over the coconut and stir until well mixed.
3. Using a tablespoon measure, shape the coconut into 26 balls with your hands and place on the wire racks. Let rest for 10 minutes, then re-roll each ball to keep loose ends from sticking out.
4. Melt coconut oil and chocolate together in a large glass bowl in the microwave, or in a saucepan on the stovetop, stirring once or twice. Working quickly, spoon 1 tablespoon of chocolate over each ball. Lightly press an almond on top of each ball. Let the balls stand until set.
