Ingredients:

2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, melted
1 box (12 oz.) vanilla wafers, finely crushed
1 cup ground almonds
1 pkg. (7 oz. or 2 2/3 cups) flaked coconut, divided
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 cup cream of coconut

Directions:

MELT morsels in medium, uncovered microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 minute; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted.

COMBINE crushed vanilla wafers, almonds, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded coconut and powdered sugar in very large mixing bowl. Stir in corn syrup, melted morsels and cream of coconut until combined.

SHAPE into balls using about 1 tablespoon of the mixture. A small cookie scoop may be used to help shape these cookies, if desired. Roll in remaining coconut. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Let stand at room temperature about 1 hour before serving.

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

Susan Winters from TAMPA, FL

TRUFFLES, CHOCOLATE, COCONUT AND ALMOND. VERY EASY DELECTABLE DESSERT. WAFERS WEREN'T HARD TO MAKE EITHER (JUST KIDD'N)
Good but messy

Calli Bussell from Maynardville, TN

I'm going to a cookie-swap party so I decided to try some different recipes, this one caught my eye. They turned out really good and look just like the picture. The preparation was very messy and forming them into balls got messy too. I had a hard time getting coconut to cover the balls like I wanted so I took about 3 Tbs. of the corn syrup put it in a small bowl and rolled them in that, it really helped the coconut cover the entire ball.

Valentine's Day Gifts

RITA GUENTHER from BLOOMINGDALE, OH

When I saw this recipe I knew it would be fantastic. Made a trial batch since I was thinking of giving them as a gift to the neighbors. They are so easy, so good and so all gone. When I told one neighbor that this was what I was going to make for Valentine's Day and send to the neighbors with the Grandkids, she said "That's good by me. You know where the house is." This is a real winner.
Makes for a nice gift!

These cookies give the appearance that they are kinda difficult to make but they couldn't be easier. The coconut, almond and chocolate combination is a real winner. Thank you Diana for submitting this awesome recipe!!!
