I am really impressed with this Almond Joy recipe as the bars taste exactly like the candy! These cookie bars are a total keeper in my house! I like to bring them to potluck dinners and get-togethers, too.
Check out what our pals from Snapguides, had to say about these awesome chocolate almond and coconut bars:
These treats are sure to please any coconut lover. Once you try these, you’ll never go back to the lowly store bought kind again. Prepare to eat your weight in these decadent morsels.
You’re gonna love this recipe!
Ingredients
3 cups of coconut flakes
1 – 14 oz Can of Condensed Milk sweetened
30 Whole Almonds roasted
1 Cup of Dark Chocolate Chips
1 Cup of Borden Heavy Cream
Instructions
In a bowl mix the coconut flakes and the condensed milk together until combined
With your hands, shape into logs and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Wash your hands frequently to avoid the coconut sticking to your fingers
Refrigerate the bars for 30 minutes minimum
Meanwhile, place the chocolate chips on a bowl. Set aside
Boil the cream on a heavy bottomed pot
Pour the entire hot cream over the chocolate chips. Wait 1-2 minutes so the chocolate starts melting
Mix the chocolate until you have a homogenous and runny chocolate mixture
Remove the coconut from fridge and place 2 almonds on top of each bar
Pour the chocolate cream on top of each bar. You can also use a fork to dip each bar into the chocolate mixture. Shake off excess
Refrigerate until the chocolate sets. About 20-30 minutes

Quick Tip: To slice, use parchment to lift out of pan. Run a chef’s knife under hot water and wipe dry; use hot knife to cut bars into pieces on a cutting board and serve.
