Add confectioners’ sugar 1 cup at a time and stir with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated.
Add coconut and stir until combined.
Pour the mixture into the baking pan and press it into an even layer. Then press the almonds into the mixture in even rows. Chill candy in refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
Using a sharp chef’s knife, cut the candy into small rectangles.
