Almond Joy is by far one of my favorite candy bars, so naturally an Almond Joy Cheese Ball would be right up my alley. Who wouldn’t want unlimited access to this decadent dessert without having to unwrap any wrappers?! It’s loaded with chocolate Oreos, cream cheese, coconut, almonds and chocolate morsels!
I’m a fan of cheese balls. One big dessert for everyone to dig into beats making individual bite size portions. Bigger is always better, right?! In this case it is. This cheese ball definitely has good looks on its side. It is so purdy sitting there next to apples, vanilla wafers and graham crackers. Best part is… when you cut into the middle it reveals the creamy chocolate, crunchy almonds and sweet coconut on the inside as well. I’m not JUST about looks, the inside has to be beautiful (and delicious) too.
