Candy making is fun to make at home during the holidays, especially with few ingredients. These Homemade Almond Joys are full of soft, chewy coconut filling and super easy to make. You are going to love the results! Almond Joys Homemade Almond Joys do taste better than store bought, with rich chocolate, plenty of creamy sweet coconut, and a roasted almond in the center, and they are easier to make than you think. As soon as I saw the recipe for Homemade Almond Joys , I knew they would be going in my Christmas gift boxes this year. I have to say they taste like the real candy in the stores. They are soft and creamy on the inside, and with the bite of the almond and all that coconut, you are in Yummyville!!! You know me, when I make candy, I like to make a lot.

Pumpkin Butternut Squash Soup
As soon as the pumpkins came out this year, I knew I wanted to make Pumpkin Soup . This is a simple pumpkin soup with the addition of butternut squash that has been roasted.
