Almond Joy Bars

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups unsweetened fine shredded/desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed coconut milk, or 1 11.25oz can – I used Nature’s Charm
  • 20 raw almonds, or roasted and salted
  • 3/4 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions:

  1. Combine coconut and condensed milk in a large bowl.
  2. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop coconut mixture, form into rectangular shape and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. I got about 22 bars.
  3. Place 1 almond in the center of each bar. Place baking sheet in the freezer for the bars to harden for at least an hour.
  4. Once bars have hardened, place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring between each. It shouldn’t take longer than 1-2 minutes total for the chocolate to melt.
  5. Dip/coat each bar into the melted chocolate, one at a time. Use a spoon to coat until completely covered. Place chocolate covered candy back on the baking sheet lined with parchment. Repeat until all pieces are coated.
  6. Place bars back into the freezer to let the chocolate harden. Once chocolate has set they’re ready to enjoy! They may be a little hard directly from the freezer so let them sit out about 5 minutes before eating.
  7. Store leftovers in the fridge for about 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
