Almond joy bars 5 ingredients

Almond Joy Ingredients

• Shredded Coconut - I used unsweetened fine shredded coconut.
• Vanilla Protein Powder - to add a touch of vanilla and it also helps soak up the excess liquid in the mixture.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk - to combine with flaky shredded coconut.
• raw Almonds - You can use roasted and salted almonds for more flavor.
• Dark chocolate - I used a sugar-free dark chocolate bar with 99% cocoa. You can use this or something lighter like a 75% cocoa bar or 85% cocoa bar or even 55% cocoa bar.

How to Make Almond Joy Bars?

• Step 1: Combine shredded coconut, vanilla protein powder, and sweetened condensed milk in a large mixing bowl.

• Step 2: Scoop them into small logs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

• Step 3: Press one whole almond onto each one of them.
• Step 4: Transfer to the refrigerator so that they get set.

• Step 5: Add chopped chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl—microwave at 30-second increments, stir at frequent intervals until smooth.
• Step 6: Using a fork, coat each Almond Joy Bar in melted dark chocolate. Tap the fork on the edge of your bowl so that the excess drips off.
• Step 7: Place them on the lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set.

Storage Instructions

To Store: Use an airtight container to store your homemade almond joys. You can store them at room temperature or in the fridge (depending on the climate) for 1 week.

To Freeze: Prefer freezing them instead for an upcoming party? Simply place your almond joys in a freezer-safe container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
