These candies have a wonderful milky coconut-and-almond taste. I copy-catted the recipe so that I could make them at home. You can also store them in resealable plastic bags in the freezer.

Steps:

  • Process coconut in a food processor until finely minced. Measure 1/2 cup coconut pour into a shallow bowl.
