Thank you guys the first one I did did not turn out right. A little tricky to make but now I know what the consistency of the batter needs to be....it is actually really easy. I had it like cake batter the 1st time when it needs to be like whip cream thickness. I watched Alton Brown's video on line and it was his recipe I was using too and then it turned out so good my saint even like it.....she found it necessary to eat a big chunk off the cake and plate that was on the kitchen counter just mins after it was done and on the plate. Totally ruined it. I was not very happy. Glad I got the pic before that happened.
I forgot to put the recipe with the butterfinger cany and the Almond joy candy. Here we go....
Almond joy candy
Chewy coconut is topped with whole toasted almonds and covered in chocolate, just like your favorite candy bar. If you dont like almonds, they can be omitted and the candy will still be delicious.
1. Prepare a 9x13 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the condensed milk, salt and vanilla with a spatula or wooden spoon.
3. Sprinkle in the powdered sugar gradually until it is well-incorporated, then add the coconut and stir until combined.
4. Press the candy into the prepared pan in an even layer. You may not use the whole pan if you prefer a thicker coconut candy. While the candy is still soft, press the whole almonds into the tops at even intervals to embed them slightly in the candy. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set the candy, about 1 hour.
5. Once firm, remove from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to cut the candy into small rectangles.
6. Microwave the chocolate with the shortening in a microwave-safe bowl until melted, stirring every minute.
7. Using dipping tools or two forks, immerse the coconut bar completely in the chocolate and then bring it up, dragging it on the lip of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place it on a foil-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining candy.
8. Place back in the refrigerator until the chocolate has set

Vivian, you are so gracious to share these mouth watering recipes. Thank you. You know after seeing the candy corn in the one recipe...if you mix dry roasted peanuts and candy corn you have PayDay candy bar. Very yummy.
