Prep Time: 30 min
Inactive Prep Time: 3 hr 0 min
Cook Time: 7 min
Serves: 75 to 100 balls
2 (16-ounce) boxes confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 (14-ounce) package shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts
1 (12-ounce) package chocolate chips
1/2 block paraffin wax
Cream together sugar and butter in a bowl; add milk. Stir in
almond extract, coconut, and nuts; mix well. Form candy into
1-inch balls. Place on waxed paper and refrigerate at least
3 hours. Melt chocolate and paraffin wax in top of double
boiler, stirring well. Remove from heat but allow chocolate
to remain over hot water. (If chocolate becomes too thick,
return to heat for a minute or so to thin). With a
toothpick, dip each ball in chocolate and place on waxed
paper until set.
