Coconut Candy (Joycelyn)


















1 lb powdered sugar
1 lb fine coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup butter (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Optional... 1 cup finely ground nuts of you choice

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
Shape into small balls and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate over night.
Melt 1 large bag semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons shortening in a double boiler. Dip candy and set on wax paper. Spoon some of the melted chocolate into a zip lock bag. Cut the bottom corner of the bag with scissors then squeeze and drizzle chocolate stripes over coconut candy.
Best if stored in refrigerator
