Coconut Candy

Stuck with a coconut that my four year old niece coerced me into purchasing, I began to dream up delicious ways to use the white flesh.
I began by shredding it from the shell with a microplane fine grater.
Next I placed a thin layer upon a jellyroll pan and toasted it under the broiler.
As it toasted I let my niece grind the almonds
I melted about two cups of marshmallows with two tbsp of butter in a sauce pan.
In my Little Dipper crock pot I chopped six blocks of Ghiradelli dipping and candy-making bars, double chocolate.

When the marshmallow was melted I added about one tsp. of coconut and vanilla extract,
the almonds
and the toasted coconut.
I greased my hands and rolled the mixture into bit sized balls
and allowed my little helper to dip them in the chocolate.
And of course we added a chocolated covered almond to the top of each piece.

Store in an air tight container in the fridge.
