I wholeheartedly support making Almond Joys with dark chocolate. Because the difference between an Almond Joy and a Mounds bar is not just the nut ... it’s the milk chocolate/dark chocolate respectively. In fact, I think the dark chocolate/almond/coconut combo is even better.
This is not that bar though. Because they threw something else in the mix (literally), some chocolate into the coconut center.
You’d hardly know it though. At least I don’t. I’m not sure I can tell that there is anything different with this filling. Maybe it’s a ruse to get me to now buy a regular Almond Joy to do a side-by-side comparison.
Here’s a fun fact though ... this Almond Joy bar has 12% of your daily recommended intake of fiber.
Though they messed around with the perfect simplicity of a classic, this is still a very good bar. I’ve always found the coconut center of the Mounds/Almond Joy family to be sweeter and moister than the Bounty bars (do they still make those).

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.Were it not for the coconut, this would have been one of my all-time faves.
The same argument holds against German choc cake, and I still find it questionable that Germans would have come up with something that needs coconut. How did they make choc cake for the first 3/4 of their history? Are there coconut trees in the black forest?
Don’t you also wonder about the CHOCOLATE for German Chocolate Cake then since it was a new world discovery?
I’m only guessing here, but I think that coconut was probably more widely available than chocolate back in the seventeenth/eighteenth centuries.
I think the Bounty Bars ARE drier than than Mounds/Almond Joy, too. But, the Bounty Ice Cream bars are so good I could eat an entire box in one sitting.
German chocolate cake is not German! http://www.germanculture.com.ua/library/weekly/aa030500a.htm
