Step 2

In the top half a double boiler melt the chocolate and condensed milk, stirring frequently.
Step 3

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the coconut. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Mix well until the coconut is completely coated. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Press one whole almond into the top of each cookie.
Step 4

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Check at 8 minutes as the bottoms tend to burn easily. Remove from oven and cool.

These are really tasty! You have to wait until they cool down all the way or else they fall apart. Easy and delicious! Read More

This is the first review I have ever written because I have never had a problem before and have loved previous recipes. BUT BAKERS BEWARE. This recipe is messy sticky and not tasty at all...and Almond Joys are my favorite candy bars. I would never recommend this recipe for anyone to make. YUCK! Read More

These were a sticky mess! You don't bake this type of cookie. And they DEFINITELY don't taste like the popular candy! The one I know You add the coconut to the milk with a box of powdered sugar and the vanilla mikx together well. Chill until firm. Use small cookie dough scoop and scoop out balls. If you need to roll in hands to shape a little better. Place on cookie sheet and place in fridge to firm back up. Melt semi sweet or milk chocolate chips in bowl in microwave. Dip coconut balls in chocolate place back on cookie sheet and imediataely place a ROASTED almond on top and slightly press down. Let coating harden either at room temp or speed up by placing in fridge. Now these will taste more like the popular candy! Read More

I was disappointed in this recipe. I thought they would taste like Almond Joys but they didn't. They were very messy and sticky and lacked the yummy Almond Joy taste:( They really aren't a "ball" but more like a drop cookie of some sorts. Read More

This recipe is VERY easy. I mixed in 1 1/3 cups sliced almonds instead of the whole ones and it was just a simple drop cookie then. Can't keep enough to even give some away!!!! Read More

Use a Pampered Chef mini scoop to make the balls. Place the almond in the middle of the scoop before you pop it onto the parchment paper. It's much cleaner this way. Also if your ball spreads out too much add some more coconut. Read More
