_pure Joy Almond Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans (regular size...not mini) with liners. Make sure to use the liners or they will stick.
• 2. Make the brownies according to directions and pour the batter only about halfway (or a little less) up the liners.
• 3. Bake in a preheated oven for 12 minutes. While the brownies are baking, mix together the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and milk.
• 4. Remove the brownies from the oven and spoon on some of the coconut (I used a cookie scoop for that), and then return to the oven for 14-16 minutes.
• 5. Remove from oven and allow to cool COMPLETELY before removing the liners. Once they are completely cool, and the liners are removed, drizzle the melted chocolate over them and sprinkle with the nuts.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare and cool the brownies. Do not remove them from the pan.
• 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the condensed milk and coconut. Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed. Spread the coconut mixture over the brownies. Wet fingers work best to do this! Top the coconut with the almonds.
