Where are my almond joy fans out there? That’s one of my favorite chocolate bars ever, and although these chocolate coconut balls weren’t meant to recreate that recipe, they totally taste like it! If you have a sweet tooth while trying to maintain a healthy diet during the start of the year, these are a great way to satisfy that sweet tooth with wholesome vegan ingredients!

Given there are only 6 ingredients to make this vegan dessert, and that it’s a no-bake recipe, you can probably guess that the instructions are super simple and straightforward. I would recommend however having a good food processor because it’s the most important part of the recipe.
