Paleo Mini Almond Joy Candy Cups



Today I am sharing another quick, clean-eating candy recipe for you during this holiday season; mini almond joy cups.  If you do not have a chocolate silicon candy mold, you can easily pour the mixture into a parchment lined loaf pan.  However, there are many affordable mold options on Amazon, or your local craft supply store.  If you are short on time and none of these options are available, simply divide the mixture into mini and (or) regular sized cupcake liners.  Either way, the candies come out great! 
Enjoy!
