Paleo Almond Joy Cookies

My grandfather’s favorite candy bar when I was growing up was Almond Joy’s. Boy did I love them too! It’s a memory that I have not enjoyed since having my last one on Halloween 3 years ago.

I saw a video going around Facebook recently of a regular version of Almond Joy Cookies. I’m not sure if that was the name of them, but that’s what they looked like to me. I just had to re-create them in a Paleo version that we could eat. The only problem I had was making sweetened condensed milk.

So off to the internet to find out how to make Paleo sweetened condensed milk. It was one of those “slap yourself on the forehead moments”! Why didn’t I think of that! So Easy Peasy! My favorite way to cook!

Since I had all the ingredients, only 5! Wow! I went to work. So easy! These will definitely be a regular in our house!
