This candy is always made for Christmas at our house. They taste a bit like Almond Joy candy bars. They are very yummy. I really don't have any idea how many this recipe makes, but I know it is a lot. These make great gifts placed in a Holiday tin.

Time 2h

Yield 12 Dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened
8 ounces sweetened condensed milk
2 lbs confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups pecans, finely chopped
1 (24 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
2 (24 ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate over night.
  • Shape coconut mixture into walnut-size balls.
  • Freeze until firm.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler.
  • Pierce balls with a tooth pick or wooden skewer, dip balls into chocolate.
  • Lay on wax paper.
  • Refrigerate until set.
  • Store in an airtight container.
  • Note: This recipe originally called for 1 block of paraffin wax melted in with the chocolate chips. I don't care for the wax, so I don't add it. It's just a personal preference.

I've made these cookies several times and they're always perfect. They're the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.
