1-2 tbsp stevia or granulated 0 cal sweetener (0 cal)
Dash of vanilla (~0 cal)
3 tbsp almond milk (~10 cal)
Almonds (Amount varies based on how many you make each on is ~7 cal)
Total: ~980-1000 cal for the whole batch
Serving size: 3 pieces ~105 cal
Per piece if you made 28: ~35-38 cal
(Compared to name brand Almond Joy which is 65 cal per mini)
Instructions:
In a bowl start by mixing the coconut oil and sweetener, make sure the sweetener has dissolved.
Add vanilla
Mix in the coconut shavings until well combined, don’t worry if it’s looking dry
Add the almond milk SLOWLY, you might need more or less depending on the oil you used. It should eventually mix together into a dough that you can mold in your hands it can hold its shape
I used a silicone ice mold to keep the sizes accurate but you could always just form the balls in your hand and measure with some measuring cups.
Stick an almond into each piece, however you want to really. I left mine half out of the coconut mixture but if you want you could just lightly press it on top sideways or even fully cover it.
Let it chill in the fridge, you wanna make sure they can keep their shape while you coat them in chocolate.
Take out a small glass bowl and a small pot of water.
Heat the water on low to medium heat and put the bowl inside the pot with the chocolate chips making sure that the bowl is not touching the bottom of the pot.
Once melted take the almond candies out of the fridge coat the pieces evenly however you like, I just used a spoon and it looked messy but it still tasted good
If your in a rush you can let them set in the freezer for 10 min or just leave them in the fridge for a while
Enjoy!!!
Notes:
Make sure to keep the leftovers in the fridge.
You can lower the cal by omitting the coconut oil but it won’t hold together as well and might turn out to be more crumbly than chewy. Just add more almond milk until you can mold the mixture in you hands.
These literally taste EXACTLY the same as the name brand ones and I couldn’t believe I made ts at home, it’s not super duper mega low cal but honestly it’s still 100 times better than that processed stuff.
Would make an awesome snack! Or if you’re like me a great breakfast. Get some peanut butter, mix it with water so that it’s smoother, pit it in a sandwich bag, cut the tip, and make a design!
