Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup karo syrup
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1/2-1 tsp almond extract (depends on how strong an almond flavor you wish)
  • 5 oz chocolate bark (you may need more to coat properly)

Directions:

  1. Toast the almonds in the oven at 400°F just till they are warm and you can start to smell them (3-5 min); set aside.
  2. Bring the Karo to a boil and add the coconut, remove from heat and add extract.
  3. Place in fridge till firm.
  4. Form into 12 round balls or 6 ovals and place on waxed paper - press 1 almond to each ball or 2 to each oval and chill for 1/2 hour. (You can play with the size of these, if you like more filling to less chocolate, make them bigger, you'll just get fewer).
  5. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave being careful to stir often and not cook-just melt.
  6. Dip each candy into the chocolate; coat evenly and completely. No coconut should be exposed! Place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet in the fridge till chocolate is set.
  7. Store in a airtight container.
