Coconut Almond Eggs (almond joy)
 
 
14 oz    Sweetened condensed milk  
1 envelope    Unflavored gelatin  
14 oz    Flaked coconut  
  Whole Almonds  
  Dipping chocolate or chocolate flavored almond bark  
 
1 Place the sweetened condensed milk and the unflavored gelatin in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut.
2 Let mixture cool. Dip hands in water and mold the coconut mixture into small egg shapes and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
3 Place an almond on the top of each coconut egg and press down slightly. Place eggs in refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes to make dipping easier.
4 Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low heat or in the microwave. Dip each egg into the chocolate to coat and then place on waxed paper. Let set and decorate with royal or buttercream icing if desired.
 
Yield: 40- 2 inch eggs
