    No-bake Almond Joy Cups

    Ingredients:

    1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut

    ¾ cup sliced almonds, chopped coarsely

    ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

    1 teaspoon almond extract 

    2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

    4 teaspoons vegetable oil

    For topping,

    Coarse sea salt

    Additional 2-3 tablespoons sliced almonds, chopped if desired

    Preparation:

    1. Line a 12-cup standard muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.

    2. Stir together sweetened shredded coconut, ¾ cup sliced almonds, sweetened condensed milk and almond extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. Set aside.

    3. Into another medium microwavable bowl, add chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave for approximately 2 minutes (stirring every 30 seconds), until completely melted and smooth. (Microwave for additional few seconds, if not fully melted).

    4. Pour 1 tablespoon melted chocolate into each paper liner. Divide coconut-almond mixture into the 12 cups and press with your fingertips or the back of a spoon to pack them slightly. Top with an additional 1 tablespoon melted chocolate mixture and evenly  spread with the back of a spoon to smoothen. 

    5. Sprinkle some sea salt and sliced almonds (chopped if desired).

    6. Place muffin pan in the refrigerator to chill and set the chocolate for at least 4 hours. 

    Store cups in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator. 

    Makes 12 cups

      If you could find a way to make these appear on my doorstep in, like, five minutes I'd be so grateful :). They look delicious!

      oooh these look awesome! the storebought ones are a bit sweet for me, so making them homemade and being able to control the amount of sugar sounds perfect (:

        That was the issue at my home as well. It was certainly hard not to finish the entire batch:) Have a great weekend Kathy:)

      I heard someone call Almond Joy the worst halloween candy, and for the rest of the day, I thought about how insane that person must be! This homemade version looks delicious!!! Plus you can use better quality chocolate when you make them yourself!! I love Almond Joy bars (except for the too-sweet waxy chocolate), so these look like something I could eat an entire batch of! Although, I don't know if thats a good thing or not;)

        Lol, every person has their own favorite candy, I guess. You are totally right about controlling the quality of ingredients when made at home. Thank you so much Maria:)
