Almond Joy Brownies

These Almond Joy Brownies are so simple to make and full of flavor. I am a huge Almond Joy fan. Not much of an actual almond fan, but the coconut and chocolate mixture is definitely something I can get behind.

I saw a picture of some cookies that were chocolate with coconut on them, and it totally sparked my interest.

I couldn’t find a recipe, so I decided I’d make my own, but with our Fudgy Brownie recipe instead of a cookie base.

Can I just say, I have never been so proud of something I have created? They were out of this world delicious, and I say that as I eat my third one today and type with coconut fingers.

If you need a good chocolatey treat, this is one I highly recommend.

steps to make the perfect almond joy brownies:

• As I said before, the brownie base is our Fudgy Brownie recipe, but we just added a little bit of a different topping and created something beautiful.

• Mix all the brownie ingredients, as instructed in the recipe. It’s important to combine them in the correct order to avoid lumps, and to ensure they cook properly.
• Bake them for the instructed time and temperature, then let them cool before adding the coconut mixture.

• The coconut mixture is extremely easy. All it is, is sweetened coconut (you can use unsweetened, but these already have quite a bit of sugar, that you aren’t saving yourself much), and sweetened condensed milk.
• Mix it together then spread it over the brownies.

• You can then drizzle your brownies with melted chocolate (I just used chocolate chips and melted them in the microwave), and sliced almonds. If you are not an almond fan, you can also go without them.

what could i replace the almonds with?

I am not much of an almond person, but this recipe uses slivered almonds, which are so thin, you can’t even taste them, they just add a little texture and crunch to the brownies.

However, if you want to switch it up, here is what I recommend replacing them with:

• M & M’s
• Chocolate Chips (milk chocolate or white)
• Candy Bar Chunks (Almond Joys would be cute and delicious)
• Chocolate Shavings (milk chocolate or white)
• Pecans
• Macadamia Nuts
• Oreo Cookies (because Oreo’s fix everything).

A delicious shortcut:

I am all about shortcuts when it comes to cooking. I hate taking longer in the kitchen than I need to. If you don’t have time to make brownies from scratch, you could easily make this recipe using boxed brownies.

We still recommend using a 9×13 inch pan, for the brownie to coconut ratio, but boxed brownies would work just as well (not as delicious, but they would definitely work).
