Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup whole almonds (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Roll the coconut mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Press one whole almond into the top center of each ball.
- Place the coconut balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each frozen coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Return the truffles to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Refrigerate the Almond Joy truffles for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate coating is set.
Notes
- For a smoother coating, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate.
- If you prefer milk chocolate, substitute the dark chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips.
- Store these homemade candy bar treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
