Almond Joy Candies

1. 1

   Toast the almonds in the oven at 400u00b0F just till they are warm and you can start to smell them (3-5 min); set aside.

2. 2

   Bring the Karo to a boil and add the coconut, remove from heat and add extract.

3. 3

   Place in fridge till firm.

4. 4

   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).

5. 5

   Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave being careful to stir often and not cook--just melt.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   Store in a airtight container.
