Homemade Almond Joys

I don't discriminate when it comes to candy, but I've found some people have very steadfast opinions when it comes to the combination of coconut and chocolate. My friend swears it's a flavor combination that should be reserved for people you really dislike, but I can't get enough of the chewy texture mixed with smooth milk chocolate. We made a slight variation of Anita Chu's recipe featured here, using mesquite smoked almonds, and the end result was a big improvement from the packaged processed version I've enjoyed for years.I don't discriminate when it comes to candy, but I've found some people have very steadfast opinions when it comes to the combination of coconut and chocolate.
