1. Prepare the coconut filling: ๐Ÿฅฅ In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture is thick and sticky. Shape the coconut mixture into small rectangular bars, about 2 inches long, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press a whole almond into the top of each bar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ

2. Melt the dark chocolate: ๐Ÿซ In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop. ๐ŸŽ‚

3. Coat the almond joys: ๐Ÿซ Remove the coconut bars from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each bar into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Place the chocolate-covered bars back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. ๐ŸŽ‚

4. Set the chocolate: ๐Ÿ•’ Once all the bars are coated in chocolate, refrigerate them again for about 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm. The result will be rich, dark chocolate Almond Joys with a sweet, chewy coconut filling and a crunchy almond on top. ๐Ÿซ

5. Serve and enjoy: ๐ŸŒฐ Once the chocolate is fully set, your homemade Almond Joys are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or share them with friends and family for a delicious homemade treat. ๐Ÿฅฐ
