Almond Joy Truffles Recipe

Almond Joy Truffles offers an enticing taste with just four ingredients. These truffles are beautifully simple to prepare, featuring a core of unsweetened coconut and Fisher Whole Natural Almonds, wrapped in a rich dark chocolate shell. Perfect for special occasions or a delightful everyday snack, they provide a luxurious twist on the familiar candy bar.

Ingredients

3 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
24 Fisher whole natural almonds, roasted
24 oz semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Line a large cookie sheet with wax paper.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut flakes and sweetened condensed milk. The mixture should hold its shape when pressed together. If not, add a tablespoon more condensed milk at a time until it holds shape.
Using a large cookie scoop or 1.5 tablespoons of coconut mixture, shape into mounds and place on a wax paper cookie sheet. Press one Fisher almond into the top of each mound. Place mounds into the freezer for 15 minutes or fridge for 30 minutes.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate according to package directions, until just melted. Do not overheat.
Place mound on top of melted chocolate. Using a spoon, melt the chocolate gently over the truffle.
Using a fork, lift the truffle out of the chocolate and allow any excess chocolate to run off and drain back into the chocolate bowl.
To help remove excess chocolate, you can lightly tap the fork on the side of the bowl. (Watch the video for a demonstration of this method.)
Place the truffles back on the lined tray. Allow chocolate to harden at room temperature. Serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips and Tricks

The mixture for these truffles is sticky, making it challenging to shape and dip. Utilize a standard-sized cookie scoop to form the truffles. Press an almond inside the scoop and then the coconut mixture firmly on top.
After the truffles have chilled, dip them into the melted chocolate. Using a fork is handy for this step; it allows excess chocolate to fall through the prongs and prevents the truffle from falling back into the bowl of chocolate.
