What is an Almond Joy?

If you aren’t sure what we mean by an Almond Joy latte, it’s a drink based on the popular candy bar, Almond Joy.

Since its debut in 1946, it’s been favored by both kids and adults for years. The chocolatey treat is filled to the brim with crunchy almonds and sweet, shredded coconut.

We made our own syrup for this recipe and it’s super easy, not to mention delicious!

  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of coconut extract

Start by bringing the sugar and water to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Once it’s bubbling, bring it down to a simmer and keep stirring until all the sugar is dissolved.

Making Coconut Syrup

Next, you’ll want to pour the simple syrup you just made into a container (we used a mason jar for easier storage and mixing) and let it cool down completely.
