If you have been following me for awhile, you know I love all things Almond Joy flavored. These Easy Almond Joy Candy Cups are my latest creation. I know you are going to love them!
There are a few things that make this recipe great. They are vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. The contain ZERO refined sugar, and there is no baking required! Only 5 simple ingredients!
I have such a sweet tooth, so I am always thinking of new ways to enjoy sweets in a better way. Since these contain a good amount of fat, and they are super rich, you don’t need much to satisfy. I made mine in standard sized muffin pans and got 6, but you can do a bite size up if you like too!
We shot a short video for this recipe if you need a visual. You can view it below. To see more of my videos, you can follow my You Tube channel.
