I first had these a few months ago when a friend of mine made them. She brought them to a church dinner.
As soon as I tasted these I knew they would make a good candy for our Christmas party.
I was thrilled to learn how easy they were. So, thanks Susan for the great recipe idea.
Coconut Chocolate Patties
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 3 drops pure almond extract
- 3 3/4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place coconut on a baking sheet. Place in oven until golden and toasted, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to color evenly. Remove from oven; let cool completely.
In a medium bowl, combine toasted coconut, almond extract, and melted chocolate. Stir gently until combined. Press about 1 tablespoon coconut mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture. Place in the refrigerator until cookies are set, about 20 minutes. Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Yum! We are trying this one. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Ohh…yummy. Do yout think that it would adapt with walnuts or another kind of nut in it?
@Carleen, I make something like this with just choc and nuts. I think nuts would change the texture of this, if you had nuts, coconuts, and choc.it would not be quite the same. But I am sure it probably taste good.
