These Gooey Caramel Chocolate Almond Bites combine a perfectly nutty almond-coconut base with rich, melted caramel and smooth dark chocolate, topped with toasted sliced almonds for an irresistible treat. Easy to prepare and no baking required, this dessert is a luscious blend of textures and flavors, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with a homemade touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Caramel Layer

  • 20 soft caramel candies

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a sticky dough.
  2. Chill the base: Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined baking dish to create an even layer. Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for 20 minutes, allowing the base to firm up.
  3. Melt the caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the soft caramel candies by heating them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the caramel is smooth and fully melted.
  4. Add caramel layer: Pour the melted caramel evenly over the chilled almond base, spreading it carefully to cover the surface. Return the dish to the refrigerator and chill for another 10 minutes to set the caramel.
  5. Melt the chocolate: Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips by heating in 30-second increments, stirring each time until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  6. Apply chocolate topping: Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread it evenly. Immediately sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds on top to add crunch and flavor.
  7. Final chill and serve: Place the baking dish back in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate topping is firm. Once set, cut into bite-sized pieces and serve these indulgent caramel chocolate almond bites.

Notes

  • For best results, use soft caramel candies that melt easily.
  • To toast sliced almonds, spread them evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • These bites are perfect as a no-bake dessert or snack.
