Ingredients:  
7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half a standard 14-oz can)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups powdered sugar
14 ounces (about 2-1/2 cups) shredded coconut
3/4 cup whole roasted almonds
1 lb chopped dark chocolate, or chocolate candy coating
Directions:
Directions:
Mix, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and salt, in large bowl, til well mixed. Add powdered sugar, might be thick, but keep stirring, it will gradually become smooth. Add coconut. Stir til well combined, no dry patches. You can line a jelly roll pan with parchment, coating it with powdered sugar and spreading mix onto that and cutting out rectangles with a pizza cutter, but I prefer making my own candy bars. Take a spoonful of mix, make sure hands coated with powdered sugar, and form a rectangle. Lay them on powdered sugar coated parchment, and put one almond on top. They will dry a little but no problem. After all the mix is in candy bar shapes, I melt Ghirardelli wafers and use a kitchen brush to brush on chocolate. By the time I am done, the first ones are hard so I flip them over and coated backside, much easier than dipping.
