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  I originally made it with almond flour and holy crap did that make a mess!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’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
