Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups of shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of coconut oil (melted)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of whole almonds (raw or roasted, unsalted)
1 ½ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon of butter or shortening (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined, and it forms a thick mixture.
With clean hands, take a tablespoon of the coconut mixture and press it into a small rectangle. Make a bit of an indentation in the center to hold the almond later. Repeat this process until all the mixture is shaped.
Press one whole almond into the center of each coconut rectangle.
Place the tray in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter (or shortening). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
Dip each piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated.
Place the candies back in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
Notes
This Almond Joy Candy Recipe brings together the delightful combination of chocolate, coconut, and almonds. It’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a sprinkle of creativity.
