Homemade Almond Joy Coconut Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 whole unsalted almonds
1 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture becomes sticky and fully combined.
Scoop a spoonful of the mixture and roll it into a small ball. Slightly flatten it, then press one almond into the center. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
Place the formed coconut-almond bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Add chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and melted.
Dip each chilled coconut bite into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place them back on the parchment paper to set.
Refrigerate the chocolate-coated bites for 15–20 minutes or until the chocolate layer is firm.
These no-bake Almond Joy Coconut Bites are perfect for snacking, sharing, or gifting during the holidays or any time of year.
Tips & Variations:
Use dark, milk, or white chocolate depending on your preference.

Add a drizzle of white chocolate on top for a bakery-style look.
