This time of year there is no lack of sweet treats. With every turn we are tempted with flashy displays of tempting sweets. That doesn’t mean we always need to fall into temptation. One of my most desired delights are of a famous milk chocolate, coconut, and almond treat that we are all familiar with. Picking apart its star ingredients I have created its healthier cousin. With only a few minutes and ingredients a craving is conquered with out unnecessary calories.
Start by laying out your ingredients and mini baking cups. You could easily just lay out a sheet of parchment paper. The cups will ensure a petite shape.
Pipe chocolate into containers or on paper, sprinkle with sweetened or unsweetened if you want to make an even healthier option, top with almond.
Allow to cool in a refrigerator until chocolate has re-hardened and enjoy!
Yield: 7 candies
Ingredients:
- 1 CUP dark chocolate chips
- sweetened coconut flakes
- raw almonds
- mini baking cups or parchment paper
- zipper top sandwich baggie
Directions:
- Pour chocolate chips into a zipper top baggie, zip top, microwave for 90 seconds in 30 second intervals flipping bag each time.
- Allow chocolate to pour to one corner of the bag and cut the tip off using scissors. This creates a piping bag to place the chocolate neatly where you want it. Toss the bag when empty. Pipe about 1 Tablespoon of chocolate into each baking cup.
- Sprinkle as little or as much coconut flakes that you desire over chocolate and top with a raw almond.
- refrigerate until chilled and chocolate is reset.

This looks amazing! I’m trying it tonight! Happy Friday!
I always love your recipes, girl! I will have to try this! I made your chicken tortilla soup recipe…oh my family loves it! A new favorite
this looks so yummy
, I will try to do it. Btw this is delicious snack but this also simple to make. And I have question do yo know , how to choose the best almond in the market? Please tell me . 
Personally, I always go for the almond in the fresh produce section or in the baking section. NEVER in the snack section because these are always packed with unwanted salt and sugars. The raw almond are good because you can toast them up on your own and add what ever you want. I also enjoy just snacking on them as they are. Hope this helps!
