  I had trouble

  Rated: 2 stars out of 5

  I cut the recipe in half and put in half the sugar and milk and it was just to dry to roll into balls, so i added the rest of the milk and there in the fridge now sitting for 3 hours. I don't know how they will be???????

  where is the consistency

  Rated: 2 stars out of 5

  Why do you call for Parifin wax for the recipe on TV but when you print it off on the computer there is nowhere calling for the wax. Which is correct. I had the same think happen with the recipe for Pecan Pralines....on TV you said 1/2 Cup of heavy cream...when I printed off the recipe it states 4 T....there is no consistency in either of these recipes.

  Awesome!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This treat is delicious! I ended up grinding down some more almonds and sprinkled them on top for decoration. The ingredients don't tell you to use prefarin but Paula said to on the show. I used half a block and it did wonders!!! Also...while blending everything together DON'T use a beater...it WILL break!! Fingers are your friends. When rolling it into balls...try washing your hands after every few..it makes it easier so the balls don't stick to your hands. Hope this helped!! P.s....use a little less Almond extract...it's a little overwhelmingly strong...Maybe I put too much...not sure..

  Almost as good as my "Peanut Butter Bon Bons!

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Just a comment for the person who tried to half this recipe. The recipe calls for 2- 16 oz boxes of powdered sugar, so you should have used 1 16 oz. box. Try that next time and I think you'll find the consistency just right. I also think that most of us who enjoy Paula Deans recipes are not so health conscious that we're worried about a little parafin wax! LOL

  Delicious!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  These turned out great. My best advice though is to use an electric mixer, like a kitchenaid, and after you add the sweetened condensed milk, switch to a dough hook to add the almonds and coconut. You won't get a dry ball if you do it this way!

  Too much almond extract

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  I halved the almond extract and still thought they tasted too strong. Also, the consistency was very dry, not chewy like the coconut almond candy bar they are supposed to taste like. I did add toasted coconut to the top and that was very pretty.

  Please don't use the wax, it is not good for you. Go to a local cake decorating store and buy the chocolate coating. It is made for dipping and coating candy without the wax. If to thick just add a small amount of shortening to thin. Pat MIchigan

  lacking 1 ingredient,differs from recipe aired!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  On Paula's show, she added a half block of parafin wax to the chocolate chips when she melted them in a bowl over boiling water. She said it was to help the chocolate harden and have a nice shine. These are a really simple and tasty treat!

  Winner!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  My daughter entered this candy in our county fair and won the rosette, enabling her to sell them in the Rosette Auction. She got $1150.00 for them!! She needed 24 oz. of chocolate chips instead of the 12 oz. the recipe called for and we added a block of paraffin to the chocolate to make the chocolate thinner, smoother and easier for dipping. She then encrusted the top of each ball in chopped almonds. They were beautiful and delicious!

  A must try for Almond Joy lovers

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Yummy, but a little too sweet. The almond extract was a little too powerful, so next time I will use less. The recipe makes a very large quantity, so I recommend making it for larger groups.

  I made these for a Christmas potluck at work... HUGE hit. When I made the balls, I put them in the freezer for about 15 minutes and they were ready for dipping. They tasted better the next day after setting up. Many co-workers asked for the recipe. Thank you, Paula!!!

  Perfect Gift Treat

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This recipe was so easy to make and perfect for the holidays, too. I put these out at a party and gave them as party favors to take home, too. My only recommendation? Make a double batch!

  Great taste,

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I loved the taste of this recipe. I found that when you form the balls, if you wet a paper towel and keep you palms wet the balls form much easier. I had a problem with the chocolate coating and ended up painting the chocolate on rather than dipping. The tasted great! Mine looked a little frumpy.

  Recipe for Almond Chocolate Balls review on 11-02-2007 (Paula's Home Cooking) When I pulled up the recipe on my computer going to the Food Network site and began look over the ingredients I noticed that on her show she used Paraffin with the chocolate. I don't see this ingredient listed on the recipe. Thank you, Haleigh from London, KY
