Steps:
- Stir together the coconut, condensed milk and vanilla. It should be sticky and hold it's shape when pressed together.
- Melt the chocolate (along with the optional coconut oil to thin it) in a glass bowl over a pan of water, or in the microwave at half power for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or so.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of chocolate into the bottom of each cup. Add 1 teaspoon of the coconut mixture. Press on the coconut slightly to make the chocolate slide up the sides of the liner.
- Top the coconut with an almond and then pour a teaspoon of chocolate on top. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for a couple of months. Enjoy!

COCONUT-AND-ALMOND CANDY
The killer combination of coconut, almonds, and milk chocolate makes for a delectable candy bar. One of the most iconic of American candies, the Almond Joy, is famous for its creamy coconut filling topped with almonds and covered in milk chocolate. Its sibling, the Mounds bar, has the same coconut center but no almonds. Although the recipes for these two candies are top secret, it's possible to make wonderfully coconutty chocolate candies in your own home.

COCONUT (ALMOND) JOYS
These do not look like Mounds or Almond Joys, but the taste is very similar. I make these every Christmas along with my cookies and they are very easy and quick to make. They are very pretty on a tray when placed in decorated mini muffin liners.

- Line 8×8 dish with baking paper or aluminum foil leaving an overhand on each side, spray with nonstick spray, set aside.
- Stir together sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut until evenly combined. Start with 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 2 cups of shredded coconut. Stir it well, if it’s too thin, gradually add more coconut until it’s thick, but not too dry. It will be a little sticky but should hold together in a shape when you squeeze it with your hand.
- Spread the mixture in prepared dish. The mixture is thick and sticky, so the easiest way to spread it into an even layer is to wet your hands with water and press the mixture with your palms, or use a wet spatula. Try to create an even layer and smooth the top as much as you can.
- Arrange roasted almonds on top and gently press with your palms to stick to the mixture. I made 18 bars from 8×8 inch dish, so I place 36 almonds on top (6 rows lengthwise and 6 rows crosswise; 2 per each bar). You can make smaller or larger bars, up to your taste.
