Paleo Almond Delights (like Almond Joy)

Paleo Almond Delights (like Almond Joy)
“Sometimes you feel like a nut”…yep that sounds about right. In fact I’d say most of the time I feel like one, with all interpretations taken into account. Remember that catch phrase? Well whether you recall or not, Almond Joys have been a favorite sinful pastime for many years. They are coconutty and chewy and chocolatey and well, all the stuff that dreams are made of. After going primal or paleo, candy like this is a thing of the past, right? Well, not entirely! In fact, there are lots of ways to adapt some of your former, over-processed, junk food favorites into whole food goodness.  And this is another fine example, lucky for us! Did you know that the traditional Hershey brand version of this tasty treat has over 25 ingredients? Say what?! TWENTY-FIVE! Alternatively, this beauty has only 8, that’s EIGHT! And eight is great if you ask me. So without further ado, Paleo Almond Delights, a treat that will make even junky foodies happy!

  • Author: Jennifer Robins

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 3 tablespoons local raw honey
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • Whole almonds (approximately 12)
  • ¾ cup melted dark /semi sweet chocolate (how to melt here)

Instructions

  1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl making sure to incorporate thoroughly
  2. Using slightly greased hands (this mixture is sticky), make small rectangular shapes, or round balls if that’s easier
  3. Place formed coconut shapes onto foil or parchment paper 
  4. Press one almond into the top of each
  5. Now take your melted dark chocolate and spoon over the tops, making sure to saturate all sides
  6. Gently move wet candies (I use a spatula) onto a parchment lined baking sheet and place into freezer for 10-15 minutes or until chocolate hardens again

    Oooh, these are calling my name, Jennifer! I’ve always wanted a healthy cross between an Almond Joy and a Mounds. With dark chocolate, your recipe could give me that! 🙂 Thanks for sharing on Gluten-Free Wednesdays!

    Hi! These were so good! Everyone loved them. I had some difficulty getting the coonut mixture to stick together. Should I add more honey next time? Something else?

    Thanks!

      You certainly could add a bit more honey, I just always try to use the least amount necessary. So glad they were a hit though!!

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
