• Line large baking sheet with wax paper.
• Scoop small mounds of the coconut mixture onto the lined baking sheet and form into bars. (Wet your fingers if necessary to keep the mixture from sticking to you.)
• Press one almond into the top of each bar.
• Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to allow the bars to harden slightly.
• Line another baking sheet with wax paper.
• Melt candy coating according to package instructions.
• Using a fork, dip the candy bars into the melted chocolate and tap gently to remove excess chocolate.
• Place on lined baking sheet to harden.
