Healthy almond joys are just as delicious as the classic candy while being vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free. These low sugar treats are no bake, made with only 5 ingredients, & takes just a few minutes to throw together! By Danishealthyeats.com
Recipe ⬇️
INGREDIENTS
❄️
Base:
2 1/2 cups unsweetened finely shredded coconut
5 tbsp maple syrup or honey
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract *Optional but recommended
pinch of sea salt *optional but recommended
❄️
Chocolate topping:
1 cup Chocolate bars, chopped *or chocolate chips. See post for my recommendations!
2 tsp coconut oil *optional, helps thin the chocolate to make dipping easier!
raw almonds
❄️
INSTRUCTIONS:
Make the coconut base: Combine all of the coconut base ingredients (coconut, coconut oil, vanilla, sea salt, and maple syrup) to your food processor, processing 40 seconds or so until it creates a stickier/tacky texture. Don’t over-processes or the coconut will release extra oil.
•
Divide the coconut mixture amongst your mini muffin pan, pressing and packing the mixture down as firmly as you can into each crevice.
•
In a mixing bowl, add your chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well between each, until completely melted and smooth. You can also use the double-boiler method to melt the chocolate if you want to skip the microwave.
•
Add some chocolate to the top of each bite, covering the coconut layer entirely. I use the back of my spoon to help smooth it out. Add an almond to the center of each one.
•
Freeze! Place the tray in the freezer for 3-4 hours, before removing them from the pan and storing in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer. I prefer to store them in the freezer and let them sit out for 5-10 minutes prior to eating.
