Almond Joy Bread

October 24, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 9 Comments

Howdy!

You know I love candy and I love Almond Joys, oh boy do I love them, but one thing I don’t like is the nutritional stats of them.  However, out of all the candy out there, they don’t rank to bad.  I never buy candy for the home because I have no control in eating it all!  But my Husband buys candy all the time!  Matter in fact this recipe was inspired by the big bag of Almond Joys he bought, darn that Husband! I have taken great control in not eating them, matter in fact I didn’t have one.  But the thought of chocolate, almonds and coconut was calling me.  I wanted one of those bite size candy bars so bad.  Sigh…  So what does one do when they want candy and know they shouldn’t have any?  Do the next best thing and re-create it into bread.  You know I love bread!

Almond Joy Bread

This is one of the best combos ever! Bread and Almond Joys! This bread is a duplication of that famous candy in the blue wrapper. I honestly can’t get over how much this really tastes like an Almond Joy. It’s light, fluffy, chock full of coconut and mini chocolate chips. *Drooling* I also added some slivered almonds to give it the true almond joy flavor. It’s friggen amazing! I kid you not, make this bread!!! It’s so good!!

Almond Joy Bread
My Husband took a few slices to work and came home and said the bread was so good and moist! That’s a compliment because he never says anything when I bake goodies!!! Yah!! Health wise the bread doesn’t come out to bad! It’s 153 calories a slice. Well worth the calories in my book!!

Almond Joy Bread
I’m a little mad at myself with this recipe.  I originally made it with almond flour and holy crap did that make a mess!  It exploded in the oven.  Then I made it again with flour and I let it cook to long.  So the bottom of the bread was a little on the dark side, you can see that in the pictures.  Make sure you check your bread periodically to prevent it from burning.  If it gets dark in color, cover the top with aluminium foil.   My oven cooks way quicker than my old oven, so I am still getting used to baking times.  I’ll get it perfect one day.  But it couldn’t have been to bad because my Husband requested this bread again, so I shall make it again and soon!   That way I can show you more pictures!


I do love when you can take a sweet treat and turn it into something awesome like bread!  I really love this bread and I couldn’t stop nibbling on it.  It’s simply perfect!!!  If you love Almond Joys, you MUST make this bread!

Well I am off!  We are having a fall party tomorrow and I have to finish prepping it.  I’m making a mixed green salad with roasted butternut squash, pomegranate arils, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, goat cheese and my Maple Balsamic Dressing.  Everyone is bringing in goodies like fresh bread from the bakery, meatballs, cornbread stuffing, cheesecake and who knows what else.  I figured I better bring something healthy.  I am seeing a nutritionist to help me get back on track and I have to track my food intake starting tomorrow and that’s the party, so I need to be extra good!  This is going to be hard!  Next week, when I get my evaluation, I’ll let you know what she said.

Ok, I blabbed enough!  Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      Huh, good question!! I buy it at Trader Joe’s and they call it unsweetened coconut beverage. I know other brands like So Delicious and I think Silk sell it too. It’s about 50 – 60 calories for a cup of it. I love to use it when I bake and in smoothies. It’s thick and low calorie. You can find it in any grocery store near the cereal. Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂

    i made this today, unfortunately it was a bit dry.
    think it needs an addition of yogurt or something.

      Oh, no really! I am so sorry, I wonder why it was dry? It had coconut milk and oil in it. I’m sorry it didn’t work out.

    I’m drooling over here, Jennifer. I’m such a coconut freak!

    Funny story: a few days ago I was at the store getting Halloween candy for the trick or treaters. I Instagrammed a photo of a bag of Almond Joys with a cheeky caption about how kids hate coconut, and really, I would be eating them all myself.

    Little did I know until later that night when I wanted to sneak a piece, I had forgotten to actually PUT the Almond Joys in my shopping cart! Oh, the humanity!

      lol! Don’t you hate when you do stuff like that? Or you buy it and the cashier doesn’t put it in the bag. Like you, I am such a coconut freak too!!

I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year.

I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening.

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.

The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
