Chocolate-covered Coconut Candy

The fact is, the higher up we find ourselves in terms of power, influence, and wealth – the more people look up to us – the more vulnerable we are to pride and self-deceit, and the more prone we are to be blind to our spiritual needs and deficiencies. Once we are established in a position of influence, we have a reputation to maintain. We have a lot to lose if we get honest about our real spiritual needs. For most of us, the subtle encroachment of pride is more dangerous, and more likely to render us useless to God and others, than any other kind of failure.

INGREDIENTS

5	oz	Sweetened condensed milk
1	t	Vanilla
2	c	Powdered sugar
14	oz	Premium shredded or flaked
		coconut
1		Semisweet chocolate chips –
		24 oz

INSTRUCTIONS

Blend condensed milk and vanilla. Slowly add powdered sugar, stirring
until smooth. Stir in coconut. The mixture should be stiff. Pat
mixture firmly into a greased 9- by 13- by 2-inch pan. Refrigerate
until firm. In a microwave or a double boiler over hot (not boiling)
water, melt chocolate, stirring often. Remove coconut mixture from
refrigerator; cut into 1- by 2-inch bars. Set each coconut bar on a
fork; dip into chocolate. Tap fork against side of pan or bowl to
remove excess chocolate. Transfer bars to waxed paper. Air-dry at  cool
room temperature (below 70 degrees). This could take several  hours. To
speed up the process, refrigerate for 30 minutes. Yield: 36  bars (3
dozen).  Tester's note: These are quite time-consuming to prepare. Keep
the  chocolate warm while you are dipping.  Recipe Source: St. Louis
