These do not look like Mounds or Almond Joys, but the taste is very similar. I make these every Christmas along with my cookies and they are very easy and quick to make. They are very pretty on a tray when placed in decorated mini muffin liners. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, melted |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
3 cups sweetened flaked coconut |
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or 2 ounces milk chocolate chips, melted |
almond halves or slivered almonds (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine melted butter, sugar and coconut and mix well.
2. Shape rounded teaspoonfuls into balls and place on cookie or baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
3. Flatten each ball slightly by making an indentation in the center with thumb or finger.
4. Fill centers with melted chocolate.
5. Place an almond half or sliver on top, if desired.
6. Chill until firm and store in refrigerator.
