This recipe for Almond Joy Truffles tastes just like the candy bar! It’s filled with a creamy coconut center, topped with an almond, and covered in dark chocolate. You are going to love this dessert!

Almond Joy Truffles

My son doesn’t like nuts or coconut. So every year at Halloween, I always hope he’ll receive lots of those miniature Almond Joy candy bars in his treat bag–because that means I get to eat every one.

I love them. I love the sweet coconut center along with the almond crunch. So, of course, my quest to create the perfect treat during our Christmas Truffles and Bonbons series had to include some version of Almond Joy.

It. is. wonderful.

The center is even creamier than the candy bar, giving it a nice homemade touch. And the sweet coconut is perfect. I had to control myself on this one because I honestly could have eaten the entire batch.

The key to these truffles is allowing them to chill for a bit. That way, they’ll keep their shape when you dip them while still keeping the almond attached to the top.

This makes a very big batch of Almond Joy filling, so if you want to reserve some for later, just freeze the coconut mixture in a freezer safe bag. You can easily pull it out, form into balls, and dip in the chocolate when you need a quick treat.

    hello,
    I was wondering what the yield is on these scrumptious little things? For some reason my caps lock won’t unlock, so I am not yelling at you. Please forgive my caps.
    Can’t wait to make for Christmas.
    thank you

      Oh, my– I’ve made so many sweet treats over the past few weeks, I can’t remember! I know it makes a big batch, though–a couple dozen at least–probably more.

    THESE ARE DELICIOUS. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE REFRIGERATING “DOUGH” FOR AN HOUR BEFORE YOU ROLL THEM INTO BALLS. DIFFICULT TO ROLL INTO BALLS WHEN AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. VERY GOOD

    I WAS WONDERINg IF THESE could BE LAID OUT IN An 8X8 OR 9X13 OR COOKIE SHEET WITH THE coconut MIXTURE THEN ALMONDS THEN CHOCOLATE? I MADE THE TRUFFLES AND THEY WERE SO GOOD!
    THANKS!

      Hmmm. Not sure, sounds delicious, but I’ll bet it would be super sweet.
