i’ve never had an original almond joy candy. i’m weird, i know. so when i started playing around with these tastes and a friend told me they were the flavors for almond joy, i shrugged and said, “well, at least i have a name for the recipe now”.
ANYWAY, these are yummy, friend-verified. i recreated them to fine-tuned perfection during this time of collective pause that i’m writing this in during 2020, and i you probably already have lots of these ingredients on-hand in your pantry.

dry ingredients all mixed
Ingredients
(makes 12 cookies)
1/2 C rolled oats

1 t cinnamon
1/2 C almond butter
1/2 C vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
preheat your oven to 350ºF.
