Ingredients:





          -Patricia Dwigans fwds07a-


    14 oz Premium shredded


          Coconut;


     5 oz Sweetened condensed milk


     1 ts Vanilla extract


          - OR flaked coconut


    24 oz Milk chocolate


          Chips


     2 c  Powdered sugar


     1 c  Whole dry roasted


          Almonds






    Blend the condensed milk and vanilla.  Add the powdered sugar to the


 above mixture a little at a time, stirring until smooth. Stir in the


 coconut.  The mixture should be firm. Pat the mixture firmly into a greased


 9x13x2-inch pan.  Chill in the refrigerator until firm.


    In a double boiler over hot, not boiling water, melt the chocolate,


 stirring often.  You may also use a microwave.


    Remove the coconut mixture from the refrigerator and cut it into


 1x2-inch bars.  Put 2 whole almonds atop each bar. Set each coconut bar


 onto a fork and dip it into the chocolate. Tap the fork against the side of


 the pan or bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Air dry at room temperature


 on waxed paper for several hours. You may speed up the process by putting


 in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
