Coconut Cream Truffles

At last, a simple recipe that can make multiple flavors of candy with little to no hassle. One batch of coconut creams can produce several different flavors, it all depends on what you want to do. On average, this recipe makes about 11 dozen richly sweet truffles, enough to last a little while at least.

Ive never heard of Almond Bark, can you suggest an alternative please?

[Short One]

Almond Bark is just a chocolate coating that is great for dipping things in, it is tempered so it has a nice shine and "snap" when you break it. You could probably just use a plain Candy bar, like Hersheys. Any kind of dipping chocolate should work fine. You could probably even just use chocolate chips, but it won't dip as nicely. Good Luck!

These look wonderful..and really clean.
Um..I'm guessing your house is immaculate..right?
Hmm..I think my house is too much of a mess to attempt these :(

Haha, thanks. Perhaps not as "clean" (by that I mean mostly tidy) as you may think. I just like to make sure my workspace is clean, and that I have plenty of room to work. Don't feel like you can't make them just because you think your house isn't clean enough. It's just a good thing to consider. :D Happy Cooking and good luck!
