healthy version of the classic Almond Joy candies, you can indulge without guilt.
Ingredients
171 gm
Truvia, calorie-free sweetener
(or other sugar substitute)
1 tsp
Vanilla extract, pure
1 cup
coconut
(finely shredded)
2 tbsp
Coconut oil
3 tbsp
Coconut milk, reduced fat
(canned)
1 dash
Salt
100 gm
dark chocolate chips sugar free
24 almond
Almonds, raw
(whole; (or more if you make smaller bars))
Instructions
Melt coconut oil and coconut milk (if its solid) in the microwave. It takes about 30 seconds. Stir in the sweetener, coconut, vanilla, and salt.
Shape into 12 bars and press almonds into the tops.
Melt the chocolate. I do this by breaking the chocolate bar into chunks and microwaving on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave 30 more seconds. Stir. Repeat. Once it is 80% melted stop microwaving and just stir until it completely melted.
Drizzle chocolate on the top and sides of the bars. I used an offset spatula to get the bottom part of the sides. Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate is hard.
Flip bars over and coat the bottoms. They look prettier if you can manage to cover all the coconut but they are delicious either way. If you want them to look professional do two coats of chocolate and move them to new wax paper before refrigerating.
