Equipment

Ingredients

  • 23 oz. milk chocolate chips I use toll house
  • 14 oz. sweetened coconut (1/2 cup divided from package) (I HIGHLY recommend Baker's brand for it's moist and most like an almond joy center).
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 50 roasted and salted whole almonds (I bought a 6-oz tin for this, though you won't need them all.
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the chocolate chips, coconut (reserve a 1/2 cup for later) and sweetened condensed milk to the slow cooker. Stir.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and turn to high. Check every 15 minutes and stir. The mixture is done when all the chocolate chips are melted. Do not over cook! This will take 30 minutes - 45 minutes.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • When the mixture is melted. Use a tablespoon sized measuring spoon to make balls. I also like to roll the ball in my hand to make smooth. Place the ball on the parchment lined sheet, then sprinkle a tiny bit of the coconut on then press an almond in.
  • Let set up on the counter for about 2 hours and then serve or store.
