Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don’t! Remember that commercial or am I dating myself here. It’s easy to change this low carb coconut joy recipe into a nut free candy by just eliminating the nut. You are left with a chocolate covered coconut candy.

You can also experiment with using different nuts if you don’t like almonds or don’t have them on hand. You can try using a macadamia nut, cashew, walnut or even peanuts!

Substitutions

If you don’t have certain ingredients on hand or have allergies, consider these substitutes.

Instead of using butter, you can use coconut oil. Make sure you melt it just like you do the butter. This is a great option if you are dairy free.

Don’t have almonds? No problem, just omit them or use a different nut.
