Chocolate Coconut Balls

1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 (7-ounce) bag sweetened shredded coconut
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate morsels, melted

In a bowl mix together the nuts, condensed milk, almond extract, and coconut. Using your fingers, press the mixture into balls about 3/4-inch round. Place onto sheet trays and let rest at room temperature for 4 hours or in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
After the balls have set up dip into the chocolate to coat evenly and lightly. Place onto a sheet pan to dry

I make one like this at Christmas, Rainee.
The difference in mine is that it doesn't have Macadamias, but, pecans and it has powdered sugar. I'ts a favorite of everyones when my sisters and I get together to do the Christmas candies, (I swear that is the only time my sisters cook)
