Title: COCONUT CHOCOLATE CANDY
Categories: Candies, Nuts, Chocolate
Yield: 100 servings

3/4 c Butter
14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
2 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Salt
5 2/3 c Powdered sugar
1 lb Flaked coconut
1 lb Pecans, finely ground
3 oz Paraffin (1/2 block)
1 1/2 lb Semisweet chocolate morsels

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low head and
do not allow to brown. Whisk in the condensed milk,
vanilla, and salt. Then add the powdered sugar,
coconut, and pecans. Mix quickly; you will have to use
your hands. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with
vegetable spray. Transfer the candy mixture to the pan
and pat it firmly in place. Cover and store in the
coldest part of your refrigerator overnight. In a
double boiler set over hot (not boiling) water, melt
thr paraffin and chocolate chips. Cut the coconut
candy into 1 inch squares. Using a toothpick, dip the
candy into the chocolate to coat. Place on waxed paper
to harden. Will probably need to be hardened in the
refrigerator and stored there. Ruth from PA
