Milk and Cookie Toasting Bar
Ring in the new year with a family-friendly milk-and-cookies toast. Prepare the glasses in advance by dipping the rims of cocktail or champagne glasses (or buy some inexpensive ones from Dollar store) in melted chocolate, then cover with colorful sprinkles. Ar midnight (or whenever you decide "midnight" is), serve the milk and the fortune cookies. Toast to the new year and read your fortune!
The perfect match for a milk toast. Amazing crisp cookies loaded with mini chocolate chips, toasted coconut and almonds. Recipe makes 32 cookies and they taste quite reminiscent of the candy bar.

- 3/4 cup coconut
- 3/4 cup chopped almonds (sliced almonds)
