Almond Joys! Yumm!

So recently I have chosen to go completely sugar and grain free! I know I know what do I eat!! Well There is a whole world of food out there It is kind of amazing actually!

 But if you know me you know that I LOVE chocolate! Well this poses a problem for me because Most chocolate is loaded with sugar right?? Well I created a lovely recipe today that gave me a delicious chocolaty treat! So here it is!

Healthy Almond Joys
5 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
3 T coconut oil
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
48 almonds
liquid stevia
2 tsp. pure vanilla


In a double boiler melt chocolate and coconut oil together. after chocolate is completely melted add vanilla and 3 droppers full of liquid stevia. In a separate bowl mix together coconut and coconut milk and add 5 drops of stevia.  Now in a mini muffin pan place 2 almonds in each cup then put about 1 tsp of chocolate on top of the almonds, then add about a teaspoon of your coconut mixture and top with another teaspoon or so of chocolate. Put in the refrigerator until the chocolate harden back up and enjoy!! They are lovely!!!
