 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2  Lb            Butter
    4      Lbs           powdered sugar
    1      can           Sweetened Condensed milk
                         Chocolate Almond Bark
                         White Almond Bark
                         *Flavors of choice
                         Nuts if desired
                         Peanut Butter
                         Coconut flakes
 
 Mix together butter and milek, add sugar until it is a thin mixture (
 approx 2 lbs of sugar) Divide into bowls for different flavors and or nuts.
 Add 1 tsp of flavoring per bowl, it is best if you can use the powdered
 flavorings since they don't thin the mixture more.  Now you can add
 coconut, peanut butter, nuts etc to each bowl for different types of
 finished candy, knead the 'dough' in powdered sugar until it is firm. Made
 small balls from the 'dough'.
 Melt almond bark in a double boiler, or in the microwave being careful not
 to boil or scorch it.  Allow the bark to cool some so that it thickens
 slightly, then useing a candy dipper, drop the balls into the bark, coating
 them well, remove and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheets. If you play
 with it you can make a little swirl on top of each candy.  The peanut
 butter with chocolate is better than a reeses cup.

 NOTES :  I make this candy for Christmas presents, I get small candy boxes
 and little candy papers.  It has been a hit for the past 3 years. Try
 different flavors and types.
