How To Make copy-cat almond joy candy bars

Step 1

Butter a 12x9-inch piece of foil; set foil aside. In a small bowl combine powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and vanilla. Stir in the coconut.

Turn coconut mixture onto the buttered foil. Pat coconut mixture into a 10x5-inch rectangle.
Step 3

Cut the mixture into 2x1-inch rectangles. Press 2 blanched whole almonds into the top of each rectangle.
Step 4

Melt the dipping chocolate or confectioner's coating. Carefully dip the rectangles, one at a time, into the melted chocolate.
Step 5

Let excess chocolate drip off rectangles. Place the dipped rectangles on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper until dry. Store tightly covered in a cool, dry place.
