ALMOND JOY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with Silpat mats or parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together coconut, flour, salt, almonds and 1 cups of chocolate chips.
• In a small bowl mix together vanilla extract, coconut extract, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir into coconut mixture.
• Scoop out a golf ball size ball of dough and drop onto prepared cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Flatten cookie dough with your fingers (dip them in water or spray them with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking).
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges of the cookies are golden brown.
• Place the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% for 30 seconds, stir until completely melted. Spoon melted chocolate into a small ziplock. Cut off one corner and drizzle each cookie with chocolate. Top each cookie with one whole almond in the melted chocolate.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely and set. Store in an airtight container.

ALMOND JOY BARS

Steps:

• Melt margarine,stir in sugar and graham crackers until all worked in together.
• Pat in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
• while the crust is baking, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the coconut until all the coconut is incorporated with the sweetened condensed milk.
• I usually chop the almonds up as the bars cut easier when they are chopped rather than left whole, but that is a personal choice.
• When the crust is out of the oven, spread filling over the crust. Once the filling is spread, sprinkle the toasted almonds over the filling.
• Bake the bars for 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Once you take the bars out of the oven, I turn my oven off, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the bars and return to oven for a few minutes until the chips are melted enough to spread with a knife.
• I have found over the years that scoring the bars while the chocolate is still soft, helps when cutting the bars after they have cooled. Other wise when you cut the cooled bars, they don't seem to cut cleanly and neatly. I also cut them into tiny bite size pieces, they are very rich and by cutting them small, they go alot further.

ALMOND JOY* BROWNIE BITES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans (regular size...not mini) with liners. Make sure to use the liners or they will stick.
• 2. Make the brownies according to directions and pour the batter only about halfway (or a little less) up the liners.
• 3. Bake in a preheated oven for 12 minutes. While the brownies are baking, mix together the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and milk.
• 4. Remove the brownies from the oven and spoon on some of the coconut (I used a cookie scoop for that), and then return to the oven for 14-16 minutes.
• 5. Remove from oven and allow to cool COMPLETELY before removing the liners. Once they are completely cool, and the liners are removed, drizzle the melted chocolate over them and sprinkle with the nuts.
