Description
Almond Joy Truffles are delightful bites combining rich chocolate, creamy coconut, and crunchy almonds, reminiscent of the classic candy bar but with a homemade twist.
Ingredients
- 🌰 Whole almonds: 24 pieces (for garnish)
- 🥥 Shredded coconut: 2 cups (sweetened)
- 🥛 Sweetened condensed milk: 1 cup
- 🍫 Dark chocolate: 8 oz (for coating)
- 🍦 Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare the base mixture by combining shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
- Form the truffles by rolling small portions of the coconut mixture into balls and pressing a whole almond into the center.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Coat the chilled truffles in melted dark chocolate using a fork or toothpick.
- Add finishing touches by sprinkling shredded coconut on top and placing a whole almond on each truffle before chilling again for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- Allow the truffles to chill fully for best results.
