Copycat Almond Joy Recipe
“Sometimes you feel like a nut…” and when you do, you can make your own Almond Joy candy bars! This is the candy I confiscate from all of the kids after they’ve gone trick or treating 😀
Who knew that 6 simple ingredients could yield something so wonderful and delicious?! The vanilla was absent the day this picture was taken…lol!
You can purchase your almonds already toasted, but in less than 10 minutes you can toast your own 🙂
Nothing but coconut and sugary sweetness in that bowl right there!
Now all they need is a blanket of melted chocolate and 30 minutes in the refrigerator. You’ll be tempted not to share, but you really should.
