Celebrate Halloween with these Vegan Almond Joy Bars. These gluten free and dairy free bars are creamy and delicious. A plant-based version of the classic candy bar.
A delicious Halloween dessert made completely plant-based!
I've always loved almond joy bars, so it's about time I made a vegan version. The creamy coconut and almond combo is to die for!
Almond joys are soft and sweet candy bar. They have a creamy coconut filling, chocolate coating, and an almond or two on top.
They're one of the classic candy bars that get passed out on Halloween.
This vegan version of almond joy is made from whole foods: real coconut and almonds covered in vegan chocolate and topped with an almond.
Step 1. Line an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2. Add the coconut, almond powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a food processor and blend until smooth.
Step 3. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to solidify.
Step 4. Remove the pan from the freezer and slice the dough into bars (I made 24 bars). Place the bars back in the freezer for a few minutes while you melt the chocolate.
Step 5. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is smooth.
Step 6. Dip each bar in the chocolate then immediately top with a whole almond and a sprinkle of salt. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet to drip.
Step 7. Return the bars to the freezer for 5-10 minutes to solidify. Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
The best sub for almond powder is almond flour.
Store these bars in the refrigerator or freezer. Avoid leaving the bars on the counter for too long to prevent melted chocolate.
These bars will last for several weeks in the fridge and several months in the freezer.
Thank you God for these delicious treats. We are grateful to celebrate Halloween and nourish our bodies. Amen.
