Looking for a simple but completely irresistible no bake treat? I have the answer!
These Almond Joy Coconut Chocolate Cups are downright delightful. If you love Almond Joys, Bounty bars or Mounds bars, then you will adore these tasty chocolate morsels. Expect mouthfuls of sweet coconut and chocolate in every single bite plus a little crunch from the delicious roasted almonds. Perfection!
You know I love to make chocolate cups. We’ve done Cookie Dough Chocolate Cups, Peanut Butter and Jelly Chocolate Cups and Twix Caramel Chocolate Cups. And now we can add Almond Joy Chocolate Cups to the ever growing collection!
Coconut and chocolate are a match made in heaven. And now that I know just how EASY it is to make these chocolate treats, I think I’m in real trouble. Did you know you are just six ingredients away from chocolate-covered coconut heaven?
I’m not exaggerating when I say these Chocolate Cups are irresistible. I loved them and literally could not stop eating them so I had to get them out of the house STAT. But seriously, it is so much fun to recreate your favourite treats. Remember my Homemade Take Five Chocolate Clusters?
I’ve been missing America incredibly the last few weeks so I thought what better way to reminisce than by recreating one of my favourite American candy bars? Volia! Almond Joy Coconut Chocolate Cups were born.
Tell me I’m not the only one who loves to eat all the food when you visit a new destination? While others are checking out the Hollywood Walk of Fame, you can find me strolling the aisles of Whole Foods, buying baking supplies at Walmart or getting lost in an American candy store. Embarrassing but true.
And while I don’t know when I will get to go back to America, I can continue to use all the amazing food experiences from my last trip as inspiration. So for those, like me, who cannot go to the store and buy an Almond Joy, pop into your kitchen and make a batch of these no bake Almond Joy Chocolate Cups instead!

PinDescription
Almond Joy Coconut Chocolate Cups – a simple no bake treat with sweet coconut and chocolate in every single bite, plus a little crunch from roasted almonds.
Ingredients
- 175 grams (2 and 1/2 cups) shredded coconut
- 60 grams (1/2 cup) icing or powdered sugar
- 320 grams (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 600 grams (4 cups) good quality milk or dark chocolate, pieces
- 14 roasted almonds
Instructions
- Line one or two muffin trays with cupcake liners and a cookie sheet with baking or parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut, icing or powdered sugar, condensed milk and vanilla and gently fold. Once the coconut is nice and wet, pop into the fridge for 15-30 minutes or until firm enough to roll into balls using your hands or a cookie scoop.
- Then spoon out tablespoons of the coconut mixture until you have roughly 14 balls and place them on your prepared tray. Pop your tray into the fridge. Then, heat your chocolate in the microwave, stirring between 30 seconds bursts, until fully melted. Get your coconut truffles out of the fridge. Pour one tablespoon of chocolate into your first cupcake liner.
- Grab one of your coconut truffles, flatten it slightly with your hands. Add a roasted almond on top, then place the truffle on top of the melted chocolate. Pour over more chocolate until the truffle is fully covered. Repeat with all the chocolate and coconut truffles. Place them in the fridge for 2 hours or until set.

Jess you should come to Sioux City, Iowa and visit “Palmer Candy Store”. They make the Cherry Bing candy bars and they are delicious.. I make a recipe at home for Christmas. It’s a cherry nougat filling covered with peanut butter, and chocolate mixed together and peanuts.

I am just like you, when travelling abroad I love visiting the supermarkets there and buying stuff I would not find here. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, so it is more savory stuff for me, but you should see the stuff I had to buy from my husband from England… cardbury chocolate, wine gums, mistrels and so on… 🙂 These cups looks wonderful, especially on the inside.
Almond Joys are one of my favorite candy bars too! I love the candy cup twist you’ve given them.
I love your stash of treats you brought back. Just think if they had to search your bags! Almond Joy is one of my favorite candy bars. I need to give these a try!
Aww thank you Kathy! If you love Almond Joy, you would love these sweet treats! 🙂
Don’t worry, I come back with a HUGEEEEEEEEE suitcase of food when we travel to the US 😛 Jesse’s family thinks I’m nuts because we come with one bag primarily filled with food (all the things I know I can’t get or aren’t readily available) and we leave with a bag of new food finds 😛
These look amazing!
Hahaha I can only imagine Kristy! I would be exactly them same! Underneath my clothes are piles of cookies and chocolate chips! American food is so exciting! 😉
Firstly, I am making these for my Dad as part of his Father’s Day present! He is going to love them! We used to share Bounty Bars all the time when I was little!
Secondly, I feel you on food tourist activities! On our second last day in Vegas I went to Walmart instead of clothes shopping. I needed ALL the American candy I could get my hands on!
Aww that’s amazing Amy! I really hope your Dad enjoys them. Homemade edible treats always make for the sweetest gifts! 🙂
These look fantastic, Jess! I love Almond Joy Bars, so I just know I would love these no-bake, chocolate cups too!
Thanks Beeta! You would love these! 🙂
