Almond Joy Brownies Recipe l www.a-kitchen-addiction.com

Right up there with chocolate and peanut butter, chocolate and coconut is one of my favorite combinations. I love granola, cookies, bars, pies, etc. that have chocolate and coconut in them! 

I’ve made almond joy granola bars, but I wanted something slightly more decadent this time.

Enter rich, fudgy brownies stuffed with sweet coconut and crunchy almonds!

These brownies are a modification of this recipe for skinny brownies (perfect for when you have a chocolate craving but you don’t want to load up on calories at the same time!).

I added a little melted butter to up the fudgy/gooey factor. The middle is filled with coconut, fat-free sweetened condensed milk, and chopped almonds.

The classic flavors of an almond joy candy bar!

Notes: These brownies are easiest to cut after they have been chilled. If you don’t have patience, you can cut them warm, but they will be slightly gooey. Also, they are easiest to cut with a plastic knife.

But, really, all you need to do is grab a fork and dig in!
