This was fabulous, I doubled the recipe and they came out great. I do not like using gloves, so i sprayed my hands with PAM and washed them after 2 or 3 and it worked great. I used 2 forks to dip into chocolate, and let access drip off, if you have patience this recipe is worth it.

Best coconut recipe ever. Used pecans once and walnuts another, both were good substitutes. And easy on the almond extract. These have become a staple and not just at the holidays.
