Directions:
- Line two large cookie sheets with waxed paper.
- Set large wire cooling rack on paper; set aside.
- Place coconut in large bowl; set aside.
- Place corn syrup in a 1−cup glass measure. Microwave on high (100%) 1 minute or until syrup boils.
- Immediately pour over coconut. Work warm syrup into coconut using the back of a wooden spoon until coconut is thoroughly coated.
- This takes a little time, ..., there is enough syrup.
- Using 1 level measuring tablespoon of coconut, shape into a ball by
- Squeezing coconut firmly in palm of one hand, then rolling between both palms.
- (HINT: Measure out all of the coconut then roll into balls.)
- Place 2 inches apart on wire racks. Let dry 10 minutes.
- Reroll coconut balls so there are no loose ends of coconut sticking up.
- Place milk chocolate and shortening in a 4−cup glass measure or 1 1/2 quart microwave−safe bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture can be stirred smooth and is glossy; stirring once or twice.
- Working quickly, spoon 1 level measuring tablespoon of the chocolate over each coconut ball, making sure chocolate coats and letting excess chocolate drip down onto waxed paper.
- While chocolate coating is still soft, lightly press whole almond on top of each.
- Let stand to set or place in refrigerator. Store in a single layer in airtight container.
- Keeps best if refrigerated.
