These Keto Almond Joy Bars taste just like the classic candy, with a creamy coconut center, crunchy almond, and rich chocolate coating — but without all the sugar. Naturally low-carb, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
Mix the coconut filling: In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, coconut cream, melted coconut oil, and allulose. If mixture is too crumbly, pulse in a food processor until a crumbly dough forms. Add a little more coconut cream only if needed.
Shape and add almonds: Scoop the mixture onto a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet. Shape into ovals or rectangles and press an almond onto each one.
Chill until firm: Refrigerate or freeze the bars until completely firm.
Melt the chocolate: Melt chocolate chips with 2 tsp coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
Dip in chocolate: Using a fork, dip each bar into the chocolate, coating fully. Tap off excess chocolate and return to the baking sheet.
Set and enjoy: Chill until chocolate is firm, then enjoy.
Notes
Sweetener: Allulose is my preferred sweetener for the best texture and taste.
Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Variations: Swap almonds for hazelnuts or macadamias, or toast the coconut for a richer flavor.
