Healthy Almond Joy Candy Fudge
Ohhhh yes. Almond Joy Candy Fudge. My heart just skipped a beat!
Ohhhh yes.
Wait, did I say that already?
It appears I did, but you can’t blame me… I mean, c’mon, just look at that bite!
Chocolate and coconut pair like no other, but the almond extract is what brightens up each bite. It’s just as soft and sweet and chewy as the real-deal candy bar, all without the refined sugar, trans fats, preservatives, and artificial ingredients.
This Almond Joy Candy Fudge is healthy without the healthy taste!
Yes, this fudge is refined sugar free, high fiber, high protein, and gluten free too! I still can’t believe it, and I’m the one who made them.
Healthy Almond Joy Candy Fudge
Ingredients
Chocolate Layer:
- 45g (½ cup) Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
- 30g (6 tbs) Unsweetened Natural Cocoa Powder
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- 128g (½ cup) Raw Coconut Butter (melted)
- 42g (2 tbs) Raw Honey

Instructions
For the Chocolate Layer:
- Line an 8x8” brownie pan with parchment paper both ways.

- In a large bowl, stir together the melted coconut butter and honey. Whisk in the coconut milk, then whisk in the almond extract and stevia extract.
- Dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir together until completely combined (mixture should look like a dark paste). Scoop this into the prepared pan and spread it out. Press to flatten in an even layer. Place the pan in the fridge while you make the coconut layer.

Just found your site through finding vegan, and I am so glad I did! Your recipes look so amazing!! This bar sounds incredible! I will have to try this very soon! 🙂
Okay, that officially looks awesome. I’d have to sweeten with other things but I may have to take a stab at making this low carb!
Wow, another decadent recipe…nothing is better than an almond joy!
Love your site Jessica! I just nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Thank you so much Shelby! Such an honor, I feel so special 🙂
Hi Jessica, just found your site through G+ and wanted to leave a comment to say this fudge looks awesome! Love Almond Joy (and coconut)and the fact these have a healthy spin to them!
Hi Jessica,
I just found your site and now im in love with it. But im just wondering instead of protein powder can we sub something else in like coconut flour or almond meal and i’ll just bake it instead?
You might be able to replace the protein powder with those flours but I wouldn’t recommend baking it. It will most likely turn out dry and crumbly. Start by adding the flour of choice 1 tablespoon at a time, then stop once you get a thick fudgy texture. I hope this works out for you!
These turned out delicious!
YAY! I’m so glad you liked them!!

Ummmm, where can I find raw coconut butter? Thanks so much!
It’s linked right there in the recipe (click on the ingredient). I also included the link here.
You can also find it cheaper on Thrive Market (a subscription based Amazon-ish site specifically for healthy food)!
