Coconut Bonbons

We make these at Christmas time!  I don't know why we limit it to the holidays because these are amazing.  I shared some with some friends, and at their request I'm posting the recipe here.

21 oz. coconut
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 t vanilla
1/2 C butter
1 C finely chopped almonds (optional, but it's way better with them)
12 oz. almond bark

Melt butter.  Add milk, sugar, vanilla, almonds, and coconut.  Mix well.  Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.  Roll balls to size of small walnut.  Dip in melted bark and place on wax paper until set.

Last year Mom decided to use the dipping chocolate like you use for strawberries and we decided that was really good too.  Either way, don't make these if you are trying to diet.  You CANNOT eat just one!
