Chocolate-coconut Candies
1 C warm or cold mashed potatoes
1 pound powdered sugar  (4 cups)
1 tsp. almond extract
1 pound flaked coconut  (about 4 cups)
1 package  (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips  (2 cups)
2 tbsp. shortening

Mix potatoes, powdered sugar and almond extract in large bowl.  Stir in
coconut.  Drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper;  shape into
balls.  (If mixture is too soft to shape, refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes or
until firm.)

Heat chocolate chips and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat,
stirring frequently, until melted.  Dip 1 ball at a time into chocolate,
using fork or tongs, until coated;  place on waxed paper.  (Keep chocolate
over low heat while dipping balls.)  Refrigerate balls about 1 hour or until
firm.  About 4 dozen candies.

COCONUT BARS:  Press coconut mixture in ungreased rectangular pan,  13 x 9 x
2 inches.  Spread with melted chocolate.  Refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes or
until firm.  Cut into 2 x 1-inch bars.  About 4 dozen bars.
