This is a lot better if you use 14 oz of cococut and get rid or the confectioners sugar. I have been making these this way for years and I got it from my exhusbands grandmother. I don't think that a 70 year old lady would steer in wrong. Try it this way.

Extremely easy to prepare and an absolutely delicious candy. I added slivered almonds. Better than an Almond Joy.
