I was inspired by an Almond Joy candy bar and decided to make cupcakes that reflected its taste. Amazingly, the cupcakes tasted just like the candy bar. I did alter the recipe a bit. The coconut and condensed milk mixture I incorporated into the batter along with a tsp of coconut extract so that the cupcake had coconut throughout and this proved to be a great idea. They came out moist and delicious. For the frosting I followed the recipe but added regular milk until I got the texture I wanted and melted dark chocolate so that the frosting tasted like chocolate and garnished them with untoasted coconut and almond slices. The cupcakes turned out picture perfect and delicious!

These are my all-time most favorite cupcakes. I took them to a party and people went absolutely crazy over them. The hostess then took the leftovers to work and one of her co-workers offered to pay me to make them for a party she was having! They are THAT good!

I absolutely love this recipe! The ladies I work with enjoyed them very much! I did not toast the coconut, and loved it! I would like to try it with a white cake mix or possibly a chocolate cake mix.
