Zubereitung von Famous Coconut Almond Balls

Line two baking sheets or a large flat surface with parchment paper. Place a large wire cooling rack on top of each sheet.
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of sweetened shredded coconut.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1/2 cup of light corn syrup for 1 minute, or until it boils. Stir carefully.
Immediately pour the hot corn syrup over the coconut. Stir vigorously until the coconut is evenly moistened.
Using a tablespoon measure, shape the coconut mixture into 26 balls. Place them on the wire racks to cool slightly.
Let the balls rest for 10 minutes. Then, gently re-roll each ball to smooth out any rough edges or loose coconut strands.
In a large glass bowl, combine 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler or saucepan on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Working quickly, spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each coconut ball.
Immediately press one whole almond onto the top of each chocolate-covered ball.
Let the coconut almond balls stand until the chocolate is completely set. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to speed up the setting process.
