I'm always looking for a easy way to jazz up boxed brownies. My boyfriend's love of almond joys inspired this brownie creation. I've seen almond joy brownie recipes in the past that incorporate flaked coconut and chopped almonds right into the batter, but I wanted something more closely resembling the candy. I wanted a sweet, flaky, yet creamy filling and a rich chocolate frosting. What makes this recipe so simple is that I used a brownie mix that includes a frosting packet, so there's no need to make your own frosting or ganache to top the brownies.
