Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | can | Condensed milk; sweetened 14 oz |
| 2 | ounces | Chocolate; unsweetened |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Salt |
| 1 | teaspoon | Vanilla |
| 3 | cups | Coconut; shredded |
| 45 | Almonds; whole, salted | |
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. In top of double boiler, combine condensed milk, chocolate and salt. Cook over rapidly boiling water; stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes, or till until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and coconut. Form cookies by dropping teaspoons of mixture on well greased baking sheet, 1" apart. Top each with a whole almond. Bake on middle sheet of oven for 10-12 minutes, watching cookies carefully after 8-9 minutes,as the bottom can get too brown. Immediately remove cookies from pan with metal spatula and cool on wax peper covered rack. These taste a bit like the chocolate bars; hence the name. They freeze well. from _Heartland: The Best of the Old and the New from Midwest Kitchens_
