How to Make Almond Joy Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Beat until well combined.
- Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the shredded coconut and vanilla extract.
- Press half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped almonds and the remaining half of the batter. Mix gently until combined.
- Sprinkle the almond mixture evenly over the coconut layer in the pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Once cooled, drizzle melted chocolate over the top (optional but highly recommended!).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
