Ingredients You'll Need
Here's what you'll need for this recipe:
Organic Deglet Noor Dates from The Oases Bazaar
Whether you prefer pitted or whole dates, both work equally well and provide the amazing benefits of dates.
Shredded Coconut (Unsweetened)
Choose unsweetened shredded coconut for a less sweet flavor. If you prefer a sweeter taste, opt for sweetened shredded coconut. Bob's Red Mill is a recommended brand.
Coconut Butter
This ingredient adds a creamy texture to the filling, mimicking the classic almond joy candy. If you don't have coconut butter, you can substitute with coconut cream mixed with some coconut oil to achieve a similar consistency.
Almonds
Almonds are a crucial part of an almond joy candy bar. For the best flavor, we recommend using roasted almonds.
Dark Chocolate Chips
Select a dark chocolate brand without fillers or artificial sweeteners. Avoiding these additives ensures a better melting quality and healthier choice for your body.
Coconut Oil
Adding a small amount of coconut oil to the melted chocolate helps prevent it from drying out and makes it easier for dipping. Additionally, coconut oil offers excellent health benefits, as it contains healthy fatty acids known as MCTs that promote brain function.
