Description
These almond joy bars would be the perfect hostess gift to give someone if you’re going to a Christmas party this year or a fun treat to add your baking lineup
Ingredients
4 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half a standard 14-oz can)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/4 cup of shredded coconut
1/4 cup whole roasted almonds (I prefer roasted salted almonds)
4 oz chopped dark chocolate or chocolate candy coating, melted for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare your 5x5-inch pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and the salt. Stir them together until they're well-mixed.
- Next, add the powdered sugar with the shredded coconut and stir until well combined.
- Layout the coconut mixture in a 5X5 tin foil papered lined pan.
- Place the almonds in rows on top of the candy coconut mixture.
- Place in a fridge for up to an hour. After an hour, take it out of the pan and use a pizza cutter to cut the candy bars. Dip them in whatever chocolate you prefer.
- The bars are best stored in the fridge since the sweetened condensed milk gets kind of gooey with the coconut at room temperature.
Notes
WW Freestyle Points: 8
1 bar (about the same size a regular size bar)
If you don't have a 5X5 pan you can use an 8X13 in pan and only use half of that.
