Coconut Almond Balls
These chocolate-covered treats taste just like Almond Joy candy bars!
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 1 package cream cheese (8oz)
- 3 cups flaked coconut
- 1 cup whole almonds
- 1 lb chocolate disks for melting and dipping
With a mixer, cream butter and sugar in bowl. Add cream cheese and coconut and continue to mix well. Shape into balls about 3/4 inch in diameter or the size you want. Place an almond in the center and reroll to completely cover almond.
Melt chocolate disks either over a double boiler or in the microwave. Dip coconut balls into chocolate. Place on waxed paper to set, or place in mini-cupcake papers. Makes about S dozen. Enjoy!
