Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 pieces roasted whole almonds
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients come together to form a thick, sticky mixture.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of the coconut mixture and shape it into a rectangular bar about 2 inches long. Repeat until all the mixture is used, making approximately 16 bars.
Step 3
Gently press one almond onto the top of each coconut bar.
Step 4
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the bars to firm up.
Step 5
While the bars are chilling, create a double boiler setup by placing a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water. Add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to the bowl, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Remove the coconut bars from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each bar into the melted chocolate until completely coated, letting any excess chocolate drip off. Place the coated bars back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 7
Once all bars are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Step 8
Enjoy your homemade, soy-free Almond Joy bars or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
