Whether you like “Mounds” or “Almond Joys”!
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 50
Prep Time: 20 min Cook Time: 5 minIngredients
Coconut Filling:
4 cups coconut
1/4 cup light corn syrup
Fudge:
1/2 cup butter, cut up
1/2 cup milk
1 (12 oz) pkg milk chocolate chips, or your favorite kind!
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped almonds (for the almond joy taste!)
Directions
Coconut Filling:
Mix together well. I got my hands right in there to mix all together. Set aside.
Fudge:
Combine butter, milk and chocolate chips in saucepan. Cook and stir on low heat until butter and chocolate are melted.
Pour into large mixer bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth. Stir in nuts.
In a buttered 9×13 pan, spread 1/2 of the fudge mixture. Spread the coconut mixture on top of this layer. At this point, I also spread whole almonds all over the top of the coconut (almond joy!). Spread the last of the fudge mixture to the top.
Cover, refrigerate until firm (1 1/2 – 2 hours).

I wonder if that corn syrup could be replaced with another kind of syrup. Finding corn syrup in the local shops around here is highly unlikely.

Minna, here’s what I found:
“It’s closest approximation would be golden syrup or liquid glucose. I sometimes use liquid glucose rather than golden as liquid glucose is clear and won’t taint the colour of whatever you add it to”
Looks like golden syrup or liquid glucose would sub for light corn syrup, treacle for dark corn syrup.
Also, there are several recipes online to make your own corn syrup sub with sugar, water, cream of tartar – here’s one example:
