January 10: Bittersweet Chocolate Day

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Almond Joys
 Categories: Five, Candy, Chocolate, Nuts
      Yield: 12 Candies
 
    3/4 c  Dry unsweetened flaked
           - coconut
    3/4 c  Sweetened flaked coconut
      3 tb Light corn syrup *
     12    Whole, unsalted, roasted
           - almonds
      6 oz Bittersweet (60% cocoa)
           - chocolate, coarse chopped
 
  In a medium bowl, combine unsweetened and sweetened coconut.
  Stir in light corn syrup and mix to combine (tip: use your
  hands to ensure even mixing). If mixture appears dry (or has
  trouble sticking together) add additional corn syrup, 1 tsp
  at a time. Shape coconut mixture into 1-inch balls, then
  flatten to form 1/2 inch x 1 1/2 inch logs. Transfer to a
  parchment or waxed paper lined tray. Top each log with one
  whole almond, pressing gently into the center to adhere.
  Loosely cover tray with foil and freeze logs for 20-30
  minutes.
  
  In the meantime, melt chocolate over a double boiler. Using
  two spoons, carefully dip each log in the melted chocolate,
  being sure to cover completely. Transfer to a parchment
  paper lined tray. Once all logs have been covered, transfer
  tray to refrigerator. Allow the candies to chill at least 30
  minutes (or until chocolate hardens). Transfer candies to an
  airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1
  week (if they last that long).
  
  Makes 1 dozen.
  
  * NOT the same as high fructose corn syrup, a modified corn
  syrup used in commercial food products.
