. 1 cup liquid coconut oil - can be melted by placing container in
hot water
. 1 cup chopped almonds - used soaked and dried almonds for
added nutritional benefit (see instructions below)
. 3/4 to 1 cup dehydrated coconut

Directions

1. Stir together the coconut oil, almonds, dehydrated coconut
(save about one third of it to sprinkle over the top) in a bowl.
2. Pour into an 8 X 8 pan and sprinkle the top with dehydrated
coconut.
3. Place in the refrigerator to chill for approximately 45 minutes to
1 hour.
4. Remove and cut into bite-size squares to serve. If it becomes
too hardened and cracks when you attempt to cut it, just set it out
at room temperature until it cuts easily. Store it in the refrigerator.

Variations

1. Use Frontier Liquid Seasonings without alcohol to give the
Almond Joys a different twist.
2. Try a teaspoon or two of Vanilla, Maple, Lemon, Lime,
cinnamon, or Mint etc. Add when you are mixing all of the
ingredients together.
3. Use some freshly squeezed lemon, lime or grapefruit juice to
create a citrus flavor. WONDERFUL!!!
4. Grind some raw cacao nibs into a powder using a coffee
grinder, sweeten it with some raw honey or muscovado, adding
liquid (water, coconut milk, coconut cream, or warmed coconut
oil) to make a chocolate sauce that you can use to top the
almond joy bars.

Almond Preparation

1. Soak almond overnight for 8 to 12 hours. I like to add Real Salt
to the soaking water, using about one teaspoon per cup of nuts.
2. Chop in food processor.
3. Place on Teflex sheet (or parchment paper) and place in
dehydrator to dry (about 4-6 hours).
4. I also dehydrate these soaked almonds whole for snacks. I
place them in a bowl, stir in some Bragg's Liquid Aminos and a
little Real Salt, then dry on the regular dehydrator sheets until
crispy.

These little gems are melt-in-your-mouth-delicious! Perfect as a
healthy Alkalarian snack, rich with vitamin E, calcium,
magnesium and lauric acid. It's also a very versatile recipe that
can be changed by adding a different
flavoring each time you make it (see variations).
