    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup raw almonds
    • 3 tablespoons corn syrup

    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate

    2. 2In a large bowl, stir together the corn syrup, powdered sugar, melted butter, coconut extract, shredded coconut and vanilla extract, to form a thick paste.
    3. 3Moisten hands slightly and form mixture into small rectangular cubes (or roll it into balls). Place on a sheet of parchment paper.
    4. 4In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate by microwaving it for 15 seconds, then stirring, microwaving for 15 seconds, then stirring, etc. until it's smooth and melty.
    5. 5Dip coconut squares into the melted chocolate. Gently spread the chocolate around the coconut until the filling is fully covered by chocolate. Press a toasted almond into the top of the chocolate and allow to dry completely before serving.
    6. 6Allow to cool at room temperature until chocolate hardens.

    So its alot easier to melt the chocolate in a double boiler and add a little bit of milk to it. The chocolate comes out way smoother that way. just a helpful tip. :)

    I'm assuming the vanilla extract is also 1/2 teaspoon?

    "15 minutes" to melt chocolate in a microwave???? Don't think so. Must be a typo...
