Almond Joy Bars
Look no further if you're an almond joy fan and are cutting your carbs. I have just the recipe for you! These lower carb and sugar almond joy bars are so delicious and have just the right amount of sweetness. I don't even want to buy them anymore knowing how easy they take to make! These are great for gifting or for parties. I did make these bars pretty big, since I only had a rectangular muffin pan but you can make them whatever size you’d like. Experiment with them!
INGREDIENTS:
OUTSIDE:
-1 1/2 bags of dark chocolate chips
-1 tbsp Coconut oil
-Coconut powder to sprinkle on top
INSIDE:
-1 cup Coconut flakes
-1 tbsp Syrup
-2 to 4 tbsp Coconut oil
-Almonds for the inside
METHOD:
Melt dark chocolate chips over your stove top on low heat. Mix in the coconut oil.
After chocolate is melted, pour in only half of your chocolate, saving the rest for the top of the bar into your pan of choice. I did a rectangular muffin tin. Make sure the chocolate is sitting evenly. I’d give it a few taps to make sure. Mix up your coconut filling in a bowl. You can control the consistency by adding more or less coconut oil. Place a desirable amount onto the chocolate. It is ok if the chocolate is still soft. Then place your almonds (I did two almonds per bar since they were a little bigger than a regular almond joy) onto the coconut filling. Press down each almond into the coconut mixture. Pour the rest of the chocolate over the top. Refrigerate for at least an hour and then enjoy!
