Keto Coconut Joys

Low Carb Coconut Joys Recipe

If you are a big fan of almond joy or mounds candy bars, you will love this bite sized keto candy recipe called Keto Coconut Joys. These are a buttery, sweet coconut mixture surrounding an almond and covered with a chocolate shell. They taste very similar to an Almond Joy but without the sugar or carbs! Plus they are bite sized so it’s easy to just have a treat but still stick to your goals.

Mounds or Almond Joy?

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.

Storage

Store any coconut joys that you don’t eat in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to a month. That way you can enjoy keto candy whenever you get the craving. These make an excellent choice for a Christmas candy or cookie exchange too!
