Copycat Almond Joy Candy Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 14 oz bag sweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 4 Tbls butter, softened
• 2 Tbls corn syrup
• 20-24 almonds (you can use raw, toasted, whatever you have)
• 16 oz chocolate candy coating (I used Candiquik)

Directions:

1. Combine coconut, powdered sugar, butter, and corn syrup in mixer bowl. Beat on low speed until thoroughly combined.
2. Line large baking sheet with wax paper.
3. Scoop small mounds of the coconut mixture onto the lined baking sheet and form into bars. (Wet your fingers if necessary to keep the mixture from sticking to you.)
4. Press one almond into the top of each bar.
5. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to allow the bars to harden slightly.
6. Line another baking sheet with wax paper.
7. Melt candy coating according to package instructions.
8. Using a fork, dip the candy bars into the melted chocolate and tap gently to remove excess chocolate.
9. Place on lined baking sheet to harden.
