Homemade Almond Joy from Joy the Baker

I love Joy the Baker, she has inspired in so many ways. She comes up with such yummy, interesting recipes. A couple of weeks ago she made Homemade Almond Joy candy bars. Simple recipe, super delicious. Although they are super rich, must have coffee or milk with one. Her’s turned out looking perfect, mine did not. They were still yummy.

Dab of Chocolate to hold the almond in place

Freshly dipped "joy" — Freshly dipped, this is where it gets messy!

Sloppy Almond Joy — I decided not to completely cover in chocolate because it is so rich, hence they do not look as pretty

Even though mine aren’t that great looking, they did taste delicious. Also, with the leftover chocolate I coated some almonds, huge hit with my boys!

On a side note: I almost didn’t post this because I don’t like the way mine looked… but then I was thinking that that is reality. I don’t want to put up any false fronts, like everything is always peachy and perfect. So here I am exposing myself… in all my chocolate messi-ness.
