Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut!
Almond Joy has always been my absolute favorite candy bar. Even as a kid, when everyone else thought coconut was “weird,” I would always select an Almond Joy, if I was given a choice. There was something about the combination of silky chocolate, sweet coconut and crunchy almonds that made me melt with satisfaction.
Imagine my delight, then, to find this amazing recipe for these almond joy “magic” cookie bars. I almost couldn’t believe what I was seeing. There was my old favorite, cleverly reinterpreted into a cookie bar!
The pictures alone were enough to capture my attention. They were so vivid and clear that I could actually taste these cookie bars in my head. Memories from my childhood came rushing back. One of the most vivid was memories of bike rides on warm summer days, stopping by a shady creek to savor my Almond Joy while I went wading to cool off, and licking the melted chocolate off the wrapper.
Then I looked at the ingredients list and realized that I had most of these things in my pantry already. With a quick trip to the market, I could be having one of these for dessert tonight! I was halfway out the front door before I realized that I didn’t have my car keys – see how distracting these cookie bars can be?

Quick Tip: These are very rich and very sweet cookie bars. You will be satisfied with just a bite or two, trust me. Recommend cutting them into 12-16 bars.
