Ingredients
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 pieces whole almonds
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, take about 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture and shape it into a small rectangle. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until you have 24 coconut rectangles.
Step 3
Gently press one almond into the top of each coconut rectangle. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the coconut-almond centers for 15 minutes to make them firm.
Step 4
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the semisweet chocolate chips along with the coconut oil, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
Step 5
Using a fork, dip each frozen coconut-almond center into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl before placing the coated bite back onto the parchment paper.
Step 6
While the chocolate is still soft, you may gently top each bite with a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut for a decorative finish if desired.
Step 7
Once all bites are coated, refrigerate the batch for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate has completely set.
Step 8
Store the Mini Almond Joy Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
