  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  lb            Butter
   4      lb            Powdered sugar
   1      can           Sweetened condensed milk
                        Chocolate almond bark
                        White almond bark
                        Flavors of Choice:
                        Nuts -- if desired
                        Peanut butter
                        Coconut flakes

Mix together butter and milk, add sugar until it is a thin mixture
(approximately 2 lb of sugar). Divide into bowls for different
flavors and or nuts. Add 1 ts of flavoring per bowl, it is best if
you can use the powdered flavorings since they don't thin the mixture
more. Now you can add coconut, peanut butter, nuts, etc. to each bowl
for different types of finished candy, knead the 'dough' in powdered
sugar until it is firm. Make small balls from the 'dough'.

Melt almond bark in a double boiler, or in the microwave being
careful not to boil or scorch it. Allow the bark to cool some so that
it thickens slightly, then using a candy dipper, drop the balls into
the bark, coating them well, remove and place on waxed paper lined
cookie sheets. If you play with it you can make a little swirl on top
of each candy.  The peanut butter with chocolate is better than a
Reeses Cup.

Notes:  I make this candy for Christmas presents, I get small candy
boxes and little candy papers. It has been a hit for the past
3 years. Try different flavors and types.
