COCONUT-AND-ALMOND CANDY
The killer combination of coconut, almonds, and milk chocolate makes for a delectable candy bar. One of the most iconic of American candies, the Almond Joy, is famous for its creamy coconut filling topped with almonds and covered in milk chocolate. Its sibling, the Mounds bar, has the same coconut center but no almonds. Although the recipes for these two candies are top secret, it's possible to make wonderfully coconutty chocolate candies in your own home.

ALMOND JOY CANDIES
This is a very simple recipe that tastes so good you'll want to hide them! I have made candy to sell at Christmas time off and on for the past 12 years and these are a must have! This is a very small batch and I am guessing the # you'll get because you can make them like a snack size almond joy or a half bar with 2 almonds, so the size is as you wish. I have made this times 4 the amount with out any problem . They keep very well in an airtight container in a cool place for 1 month.

Steps:
- Toast the almonds in the oven at 400°F just till they are warm and you can start to smell them (3-5 min); set aside.
- Bring the Karo to a boil and add the coconut, remove from heat and add extract.
- Place in fridge till firm.
- Form into 12 round balls or 6 ovals and place on waxed paper -- press 1 almond to each ball or 2 to each oval and chill for 1/2 hour. (You can play with the size of these, if you like more filling to less chocolate, make them bigger, you'll just get fewer).
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave being careful to stir often and not cook--just melt.
- Dip each candy into the chocolate; coat evenly and completely. No coconut should be exposed! Place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet in the fridge till chocolate is set.
- Store in a airtight container.

FONDANT CANDY
An old-fashioned candy from the Mississippi Valley chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. From David S in Nashville: Candies are usually stirred constantly until they come to a boil. The sugar needs to be completely dissolved before it comes to a boil. After the candy comes to a boil you need to let it boil without stirring. It's also important that the candy cool down undisturbed to the proper temperature before beating it.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in a saucepan and boil, rather slowly, to 236F on a candy thermometer or until mixture reaches soft-ball stage.
- Remove from heat to stop boiling; brush down sugar crystals with a dampened pastry brush (this is the important first step to prevent candy from being hard, grainy or sugary).
- Pour the hot candy at once onto a platter which has been lightly dampened with cold water (to help prevent sticking) and allow it to cool to lukewarm (about 110F) without disturbing.
- It will take about an hour at room temperature for fondant to cool sufficiently.
- Beat hard until fondant loses it's transparency and becomes white and opaque.
- Stop beating and knead with the hands until there are no lumps.
- When fondant is smooth, place in a tightly covered jar and it will keep for a long time.
- Fondant becomes more creamy as it stands, if covered tightly. If not covered, it dries out.
- Let stand at least 24 hours before using, for best flavor.

- Stir together the coconut, condensed milk and vanilla. It should be sticky and hold it's shape when pressed together. Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of water, or in the microwave at half power for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or so.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of chocolate into the bottom of each cup. Add 1 teaspoon of the coconut mixture. Press on the coconut slightly to make the chocolate slide up the sides of the liner. Top the coconut with an almond and then pour a teaspoon of chocolate on top. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for a couple of months. Enjoy!
- * I found this homemade substitute for condensed milk and considered trying it myself, but I ran out of time. The ingredients for condensed milk should be listed on the can as only milk and sugar, so I was fine with using that in this recipe. Here is a dairy-free coconut version to try as well.
