Since the moment I laid eyes on Joy's homemade almond joys, I knew I had to make them.
I have to warn you - making these almond joys is no walk in the park. They are a huge hassle and they will destroy your kitchen (notice the messy chocolate splattered everywhere*). At one point during the process, I was covered in melted chocolate with a sliced hand, slamming dishes around and growling under my breath.
Somehow, magic happened. I sprinkled a little sea salt on top and was forever sold on these little beauties. One bite of homemade almond joy and all was forgiven. Sweet and salty bliss.
*They look super messy in these photos because they are super messy. But after hardening in the fridge and cleaning up around the edges, I promise they look presentable and actually pretty.

BRILLIANT!!!!!! The perfect weekend activity...
These look amazing. I find that the messier food looks, the better it tastes sometimes.
Oh my. I don't think I can resist the temptation. These are my favorite candy bar, so I can only imagine how heavenly homemade would taste..
You just blew my mind.
oh they look like they have little snowflakes on them!
on a different note, i had a dream last night that i was over at your place for supper! it was so nice :)
I've always loved Almond Joys! Definitely bookmarking this recipe!
oh my goodness. i didn't even know this was possible! i think the messiness just adds to the satisfaction of it being soooo good. :)
EVERYONE should make these! I can vouch first hand that you cant eat just one!
The cool thing about these is that you can always leave the almonds out and make homemade Mounds.
I was just looking at this recipe of hers! Good to know it's a tough one - I'll be sure to carve out a few hours to make them. :) Anything combination of almonds and chocolate - I'm in.
Yum, yum, yum! What a great idea!
genius. i'm making them this weekend.
Almond Joys are my absolute favorite candy; thanks for sharing this!
Almond Joys is by far my favorite candy bar! And they don't sell them here in Sweden, so I might give these a go. Mess be damned!
Yum, I definitely couldn't eat just one! xxoo :)
they look simply delicious!
Holy macanoly, I have no WORDS! These look like they were professionally made. I'm sure they taste infinitely better than the packaged kind, which sucks for me because your description of the tedious process has officially deterred me (I'm what you might call a lazy cook)...enjoy 'em!
These look amazing! I love almond joy aaawh I need to try these!
YUM! I love almond joys!
UM YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

These sound absolutely delicious! Though I do hate to make a mess in the kitchen because I know that I'll have to clean it up, I think I'm going to try these soon - sometimes a little mess is worth a lot of chocolate-almond goodness!
Love all your gorgeous pictures. I linked back to these a couple of weeks ago. They look amazing!
