I have been making these for my father in law since I married his son 21 years ago. These taste a lot like the bounty bars I use to get as a child. Every Christmas I include these in the dessert trays I make. I am unsure of the cooking time as I have never timed it.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
4 cups desiccated coconut
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
dipping chocolate
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, syrup, and water in a heavy saucepan.
2. Cover, cook until boiling rapidly.
3. Remove cover and insert candy thermometer.
4. Cook until 234'.
5. Remove heat, add coconut and almond flavoring.
6. Pour onto a slab or platter and let cool.
7. Shape into 3/4 balls.
8. Dip in chocolate.
