Mix together the condensed milk and vanilla.
Add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time, stirring inbetween each addition until smooth.
Stir in the coconut, the mixture will be thick.
Pat this into a greased 9x13 inch pan and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but can be overnight. You want the bars to be set and firm.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and stir until smooth.
Cut the chilled bars into 1x2 inch pieces.
Add an unsalted almond to the top if you would like the bars to be Almond Joy or leave plain for a Mounds candy.
You can dip each into the chocolate to cover and allow to dry on waxed paper.
An easier way might be to lay them out on waxed paper and using a silicone pastry brush, brush on the chocolate to cover each bar.
Allow to sit and air dry until the chocolate is set.
Store in an airtight container.
