Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough Base

• 1.5 cups almond flour (160 g)

• 1/2 cup shredded coconut (50 g)

• 1/3 cup Honey House Creamed Honey (80 mL)

• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (80 mL)

• 1 cup chocolate chips (150 g)

For the Chocolate Topping

• 1 cup chocolate chips (150 g)

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• Flaky salt (optional, but highly recommended)

Equipment

• Mixing bowl

• Spatula

• Small square baking pan or sheet tray

• Parchment paper

• Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler

Pro Tips

1. Pack the Base Tightly: Press the dough firmly into the pan using your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup so the squares hold together.

2. Warm Coconut Oil Works Best: Slightly warm melted coconut oil blends more smoothly with the creamed honey.

3. Melt Chocolate Gently: Heat in 30-second intervals to avoid scorching the chocolate.

4. Freeze Until Firm: Give the bars the full 10–15 minutes to ensure the chocolate topping sets cleanly.

5. Slice at the Right Moment: For neat squares, cut them when the chocolate is set but not rock-hard frozen.

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, Honey House Creamed Honey, melted coconut oil, and chocolate chips. Mix until everything comes together — it may look crumbly, but it will press into the pan perfectly.

2. Line a baking sheet or small square pan with parchment paper. Press the dough firmly and evenly into the pan.

3. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals (2–3 rounds), stirring between each, or melt gently using a double boiler.

4. Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough base and spread evenly to the edges. Add flaky salt if desired.

5. Freeze for 10–15 minutes or until fully set. Remove from the pan and slice into squares or break into bark-style pieces.

Serve straight from the freezer — no thawing needed!

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

• Layer pieces with parchment to prevent sticking.

• Enjoy straight from the freezer — they stay perfectly chewy.

Recipe Notes

The shredded coconut adds a subtle chew and enhances the Almond Joy flavor while keeping the base lighter than using only almond flour. Combined with Honey House Creamed Honey, the mixture binds naturally without getting sticky, setting into a smooth, cookie-dough-like texture once chilled.

We love using 100% pure, raw, American-sourced Honey House honey here because its natural creaminess adds depth, richness, and structure without any refined sugar. You’ll notice the difference in both flavor and texture — it’s clean, naturally sweet, and pairs beautifully with chocolate and coconut.

Perfect Pairings

• A mug of honey-sweetened hot cocoa

• Almond-milk latte with a swirl of creamed honey

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream

• Herbal tea (chamomile or vanilla rooibos)

• A drizzle of extra Honey House Creamed Honey on top
