    Delicious!

    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

    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!

    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

    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!!!

    These were great my mom loved them & so did I. Next time I will have to make them for a larger crowd (I only seved 6 people) because I couldn't stop eating them myself! A great treat.

    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

    They taste good, however...

    Mine were very sweet. Do we use sweetened or unsweetened coconut? I ran out of chocolate and wish I had read the comments before I made the candy. Anyway, after a lot of work and a couple bags of chocolate, the candy did taste good.

    Oh my goodness. I make these at Christmas time, and add them to gift baskets. People just love them!! Especially women, I must say. This year I ran out before I could give them to 3 friends and they were very disappointed!

    Yikes!

    Yeah, this recipe totally blew up my egg-beater... literally, after a loud "POP!" the thing went up in FLAMES. I don't know what y'all's response would be, but I sure was not going to be eating something that sets egg-beaters on FIRE. To be honest, I'm ashamed I even considered it. And so should you be! I mean really! Two boxes of powdered sugar whose binding agent is a stick of butter and a can of condensed SWEETENED milk??? Shame on you! Love Lucy and Brian from LA (that's Lower Alabama, y'all.)

    tasted just like an almond joy...

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I added a whole almond in the middle of my almond joy balls. To contain the sweetness, I mixed milk and dark chocolate and reduced the wax, as I thought the wax gave the candy an odd taste!
