Source of Recipe

3 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 3 oz. package cream cheese--softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups coconut
50 blanched whole almonds (about 1/3 cup)
1 1/2 pounds dipping chocolate or confectioner's coating

1. Butter a 12x9" piece of foil; set foil aside. In a small bowl combine powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and vanilla. Stir in coconut.
2. Turn coconut mixture onto the buttered foil. Pat coconut mixture into a 10x5" rectangle. Cut the mixture into 2x1" rectangles. Press 2 blanched whole almonds into the top of each rectangle.
3. Melt the dipping chocolate. Carefully dip the rectangles, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off rectangles.
4. Place the dipped rectangles on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper until dry. Store tightly covered in a cool, dry place.
