Almond Joy Brownies
I have a confession to make - I love brownies. And I also love coconut. This affection makes these delicious fudge brownies so easy to dress up with cut up Almond Joy candy bars - and a little extra coconut and sliced almonds for good measure. If you love coconut and chocolate half as much as I do, then you will absolutely fall head-over-heels in love with these brownies!
