      Title: ALMOND JOY CANDY
 Categories: Candies
      Yield: 1 servings
 
      1 cn Condensed milk; sweetened
           -14 oz
      2 oz Chocolate; unsweetened
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 ts Vanilla
      3 c  Coconut; shredded
     45    Almonds; whole, salted
 
  Preheat oven to 350F. In top of double boiler, combine
  condensed milk, chocolate and salt. Cook over rapidly
  boiling water; stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes, or
  till until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir
  in vanilla and coconut. Form cookies by dropping
  teaspoons of mixture on well greased baking sheet, 1"
  apart. Top each with a whole almond. Bake on middle
  sheet of oven for 10-12 minutes, watching cookies
  carefully after 8-9 minutes,as the bottom can get too
  brown. Immediately remove cookies from pan with metal
  spatula and cool on wax peper covered rack.
  
  These taste a bit like the chocolate bars; hence the
  name. They freeze well. from _Heartland: The Best of
