"Almond Joy"

These candies are a little more moist than true almond joys, but they're still really good. And yes; they are a bit of a mess to make but as I said; they're really good. 

As you can see; I didn't shape my candies in the log shape like; which I'll explain later. 

7 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1 cup powdered sugar
2-1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
30 almonds
20-oz milk (or semi sweet) chocolate chips
Mix together all ingredients except the almonds and chocolate. Make sure to mix really well. Now freeze the mixture for 1/2 hour and then roll into 30 balls, rolling one almond into each candy; place the candies on parchment paper lined pan. If you want to hassle with it you can roll the candies into the log shape; where the almond sits on the top, but I had a problem with the almond wanting to fall off when I dipped it in the chocolate. So, after you have the balls rolled place in the freezer for 2 hours.
Melt the chocolate and then coat each candy with it, placing it back onto the pan. Let chocolate harden. Yields; 30 Candies.
