I enjoy cooking and experimenting with recipes. My husband and friends really enjoy this coconut candy, which resembles a popular candy bar. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1 package (15-1/2 ounces) oreo cookies |
1 package (14 ounces) flaked coconut |
2 cups sliced almonds |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons shortening |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in cookie crumbs. Add the coconut, almonds and vanilla; mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place on baking sheets; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave on high until melted, stirring every 15 seconds; stir until smooth. Dip balls into melted chocolate; shake off excess. Place on waxed paper until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: about 6-1/2 dozen.
