So last week I shared my Totally Nutty Peanut Butter Candy Bars (aka Copycat PayDay bars.) This week it’s time to go to the dark side…and by that I mean chocolate.

Except we’re not going to the dark chocolate side…rather, milk chocolate 🙂  So pay no mind to me.

Almond Joys are without a doubt one of my very favorite candy bars. There is just something about biting into that sweet milk chocolate shell and finding the coconut center that does things to me. Good things.

And then that one sweet almond just waiting to be crunched in to…

And that almond…oh the controversy surrounding it! Do you eat it by itself? Remove it and enjoy it first? Take it out and save it for last? Or should it be eaten all together with the coconut and chocolate. Decisions! Decisions!

I’ve solved that dilemma by eating three…maybe four of these candy bars. I know, I’m a total go-getter.

    Almond Joys were always one of my mom’s favorite candy bars! My brother and I hated nuts, so we’d always give all of the ones we got on Halloween to her. But the older I got, the less I handed to her… Now they’re one of my favorites too! Pinning for sure! 🙂

    Lol! To the dark side! You are too funny!

    And why make decisions about how to eat the almond? Just have 3 or 4 and enjoy each one a different way! See? Problem solved! 🙂

    Oh NO, not another one! Do you know the restraint it takes not to make multiple batches of all the yummy goodies that you share here? My palate thanks you but my clothes are getting a tad tight! 🙂

    Yum, yummy… can’t wait to try this!

    Ooh, these look incredible! I’m a fan of eating the three parts in one bite, but then I’m always sad when the almond is gone. 🙁
    I love this recipe! It’s impressive and doable, a great combo!

      There needs to be two almonds I think, don’t you? Or, you could just eat two 😉 Thanks Mir!
