Cooking Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, coconut, almonds and milk. Shape into 1-inch balls. Refrigerate until firm. Note:Do not cover the balls when chilling. Condensation will prevent the chocolate from coating the candy smoothly.
In a saucepan or double boiler, melt semisweet chips and shortening until smooth. Dip balls in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.
