I'm the huge fan of anything coconut and chocolate of course. But lets face it, store bought candy isn't exactly the healthiest. I don't mind sweets, what I do mind is all the processed chemicals, preservatives, coloring, etc that go into these things. Stop putting crap that you can no pronounce into your body on a daily basis. Here is a yummy clean and super simple version of almond joys. You won't be able to stop eating them.
(sorry for the picture quality, this is a little old and back when I was really terrible at taking pics haha)
Coconut filling:
-1/2 cup finely shredded fresh coconut or dried flakes (stay away from the sugared kind!)
-1/4 cup coconut flour
-2-3 tbsp coconut oil
-Hint of vanilla
optional 1tbsp sweetener such as agave
Mix very well and separate into mounds (I find using a spoon to create them was easiest as this step can be a little tricky) and place into the freezer for about 30min. The coconut oil will harden and keep everything intact and ready for dipping into chocolate sauce.
Chocolate:
-3-4 tbsp coconut oil
-5 tbsp raw cacao powder
-2 tbsp sweetener of choice such as agave
You may have to dip your coconut mounds a couple times in order for them to be fully covered in chocolate sauce. To make this easier, after each dip, place them inside the the freezer 5-10min so the chocolate sauce hardens and it can take on another layer more easily.
Enjoy.
And please remember to credit me if you do this. @chilali13
