I do.
1 14 ounce bag sweetened flaked coconut
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup salted roasted almonds, lightly chopped
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325F.
Combine coconut, sweetened condensed milk, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips.
Scoop into small mounds on buttered cookie sheets.
Bake at 325F for 14 minutes until golden brown around the edges.

It's basically my one weakness. No fast food, no candy, no chips, no ice cream, no french fries. But I love an Almond Joy or Mounds once in a while! I just prefer a less junky alternative, is all. KIND bar almond & coconut are okay but tastes too honey-ish.

Going to try a Panera Bread macaroon and those Unreal bars this weekend. Will report back.

Coconut macaroons are just shredded coconut (unsweetened), a can of condensed milk, and 2 stiff beaten egg whites. You fold in the beaten egg whites into the milk/cononut mixture, spoon out, and bake. Dip in high quality melted dark chocolate when cooled


Ain't nobody got time for that.


Exactly! Also the reason why I wear adult diaper and change it once a day.


Thanks for the best laugh of the day for me.

Thanks. Going to try it.

I was thinking that. I suppose she could make them without sugar and use dark chocolate so they wouldn't be too unhealthy.
