These “truffles” came about one evening when I was making some Irish potato candy. While I love Irish potatoes in their original, the combination of cream cheese and coconut in the mixer just seemed to be crying out for more additions. Since almond and coconut go so well together I decided to add some ground almonds to the mix, and these “truffles” are the happy result. Smooth and creamy with a bit of a crunch from the almonds and coconut this candy seemed to be channeling an Almond Joy. A dusting of cocoa powder was all they needed to pull it all together.
