So last week I shared my Totally Nutty Peanut Butter Candy Bars (aka Copycat PayDay bars.) This week it’s time to go to the dark side…and by that I mean chocolate.
Except we’re not going to the dark chocolate side…rather, milk chocolate 🙂 So pay no mind to me.
Almond Joys are without a doubt one of my very favorite candy bars. There is just something about biting into that sweet milk chocolate shell and finding the coconut center that does things to me. Good things.

And then that one sweet almond just waiting to be crunched in to…
And that almond…oh the controversy surrounding it! Do you eat it by itself? Remove it and enjoy it first? Take it out and save it for last? Or should it be eaten all together with the coconut and chocolate. Decisions! Decisions!
I’ve solved that dilemma by eating three…maybe four of these candy bars. I know, I’m a total go-getter.
