Attention Almond Joy Lovers! Get your fix with these easy Almond Coconut Macaroon Bars! This simple recipe has all the coconutty nuttiness you crave!

Almond Coconut Macaroon Bars stacked on a plate.

I love Almond Joy candy bars.ย  The only thing I would change about them is I think they should have more almonds in them.ย  Anyway, you know that when I have a favorite food, I have to make a copycat recipe.ย

  • Almond Coconut Macaroon Bars Recipe

My almond coconut macaroon bars are quick, easy, and do not disappoint.ย  They are a little messy, but it's totally worth it.ย  I would rather have a slightly messy and a little bit sticky treat than a dried-out picture-perfect one.ย  So, give these a try!ย  If you crave nutty coconut awesomeness like I do, you'll love'em!ย 

Chopped almonds, coconut mixture and stiffly beaten egg whites in bowls.

Almond coconut macaroon bars only require a handful of ingredients.ย  Whole almonds,ย  flaked coconut, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract, salt and egg whites.ย  Roughly chop the almonds.ย  You still want them to be good-sized pieces.ย  Also, if all you have is lightly salted almonds, they will work fine; just omit the salt called for in the recipe.ย  Mix the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, salt, and almond extract together.ย  Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Almonds and coconut mixture ready to be folded into the egg whites.

Fold the almonds and coconut mixture into the egg whites in two additions.  

Almond Coconut Macaroon mixture pressed into a 9x13 baking dish.

This part is important!ย  You need to have your 9x13 baking dish lined with parchment paper.ย  Parchment paper for this recipe is a must!!!ย ย If you want to be able to get your almond coconut macaroon bars out of the baking dish, you must use parchment paper.ย  It can be a little tricky to press the almond coconut macaroon mixture into the baking dish without the parchment sliding around, so if you notice in the picture above, I have used office clips to hold the parchment paper in place while I press the mixture into the pan.ย  After you've pressed it in, you can remove the clips.ย  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.ย  The tops and edges will be starting to brown a little.

Melted chocolate chips being spread across the top of the almond coconut macaroon bars.

Remove the almond coconut macaroon bars from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly across the top.ย  Place them back in the oven for 2 minutes.ย  Remove from the oven and spread the now melted chocolate chips across the top.ย  Cool completely on a wire rack and refrigerate for 4 hours to set the chocolate before lifting it out of the baking dish, cutting up, and serving.
