Healthy Almond Joys
Satisfy your sweet tooth with Healthy Almond Joys. This no-bake recipe is quick to make and packed with rich chocolate-coconut flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Dark Chocolate I like Enjoy Life
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- ½ cup Shredded Coconut
- 1 cup Coconut Butter I like Artisana Organics
- ¼ cup Almonds
Instructions
- Pour the chocolate into a bowl along with the coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir, repeating until the chocolate is completely melted (about 2 minutes total).
- Fill silicone molds ⅓ of the way full with melted chocolate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- While the chocolate is refrigerating, combine the coconut butter and shredded coconut in a small bowl. If your coconut butter is solidified, microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring until smooth and pourable.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, fill each mold another ⅓ full with the coconut mixture.
- Top with the remaining chocolate (you may need to reheat it slightly to soften), then add an almond on top and cover with a thin layer of chocolate.
- Refrigerate for another 10 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
- Use silicone molds for easy removal and perfect shape.
- Warm coconut butter just enough to make it smooth, not hot.
- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before chilling for a sweet-salty combo.
- Store extra Almond Joy bites in the fridge for a cool, satisfying treat anytime.
- Using a double boiler to melt the chocolate is an option, too, but takes a little patience, which is why I like the microwave.
