Easy Homemade Almond Joys

This year Olivia has fallen in love with Almond Joys.  Knowing her Mama, she casually asked a few nights ago if I could make them, homemade.  Of course we can!

Here is what you will need:

Start out with sweetened coconut flakes.

Add a can of sweetened condensed milk.  (Ignore the chocolate chips for now)

Powdered sugar.

Mix it all together and add a splash of vanilla.

Next, melt your choice of chocolate. 

I went with semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time.  Take them out every 30 seconds and stir.  It will literally only take about 1 minute to a minute and a half to melt.  If you don’t do this, you run the risk of burning your chocolate.  Bad news, dude.

While your chocolate is melting, butter your dish after putting parchment paper in it.  I used aluminum foil in my dish and I won’t do this next time.  Parchment paper, yes.  Aluminum foil, no.

Pour your yummy mixture into your dish…..

Dot every available surface with almonds.  There are never enough almonds in my Almond Joys!

Pour on your melted chocolate and spread thin.  Put them into the fridge for at least an hour and then devour.

Here’s the handy dandy recipe!
