Categories     candy     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup light corn syrup ((such as Karo))
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 large marshmallows (exactly 10 or the consistency is off)
2 cups shredded coconut (not flakes) ((it's better if you chop it more finely in a food processor))
1/2 teaspoons vanilla
roasted almonds
1 bag Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips ((they are worth the extra money))

Steps:

  • In a heavy sauce pan (over medium on the stove) heat syrup, marshmallows, and salt. Stir until marshmallows are melted.
  • Continue to stir over heat for an additional minute.
  • Remove from stove and add coconut and vanilla. Stir well and transfer to a bowl to cool in the fridge. The mixture needs to get cool enough that it can be rolled into balls.
  • In the meantime, melt the chocolate chips. I like to do the double boiled method by putting them in a metal bowl and placing the bowl over a pot of boiling water.
  • Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Roll the coconut mixture into small balls or ovals and press an almond into the top.
  • Dip each one in chocolate then let cool on a chilled marble slab, parchment paper, or on wax paper over a chilled cookie sheet.For Homemade Mounds: omit the almond and use dark chocolate chips.

ALMOND JOY CANDIES



Almond Joy Candies image

This is a very simple recipe that tastes so good you'll want to hide them! I have made candy to sell at Christmas time off and on for the past 12 years and these are a must have! This is a very small batch and I am guessing the # you'll get because you can make them like a snack size almond joy or a half bar with 2 almonds, so the size is as you wish. I have made this times 4 the amount with out any problem . They keep very well in an airtight container in a cool place for 1 month.

Categories     Candy

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup Karo syrup
1 cup coconut
1/2-1 teaspoon almond extract (depends on how strong an almond flavor you wish)
12 almonds
5 ounces chocolate bark (you may need more to coat properly)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Bring the Karo to a boil and add the coconut, remove from heat and add extract.
  • Place in fridge till firm.
  • 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).
  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave being careful to stir often and not cook--just melt.
  • 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.
  • Store in a airtight container.

CALIFORNIAS ALMOND JOY COOKIE BALLS



Californias Almond Joy Cookie Balls image

A simple cookie for when you are in the mood for chocolate and coconut but want something fresher than a candy bar that may have been sitting on the store shelves for three months, these are made with one of Californias favorite nuts, the Almond.

Provided by JanetB-KY

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
36 whole blanched almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper that has been lightly greased.
  • In the microwave, melt the chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk, stirring after every minute of cook time. Microwave cook times vary; you know your oven better than I do, so no specific cook times; just until melted and smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the coconut in a large bowl. Stir in the vanilla. Mix well until the coconut is completely coated.
  • Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Top each cookie with an almond, pressing down slightly.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for ten to twelve minutes. Check at about 8 minutes though as the bottoms tend to burn easily. Double panning is a good idea if they still seem doughy but bottoms are done.
  • Let cool on pan for one minute, then transfer to cooling rack and cool completely.
