This recipe for Almond Joy Truffles tastes just like the candy bar! It’s filled with a creamy coconut center, topped with an almond, and covered in dark chocolate. You are going to love this dessert!
My son doesn’t like nuts or coconut. So every year at Halloween, I always hope he’ll receive lots of those miniature Almond Joy candy bars in his treat bag–because that means I get to eat every one.
I love them. I love the sweet coconut center along with the almond crunch. So, of course, my quest to create the perfect treat during our Christmas Truffles and Bonbons series had to include some version of Almond Joy.
