I may have mentioned this before, but I have not always been a fan of coconut.  As a kid I thought it was weird and wouldn’t try it.  Nor would I try anything that had coconut in it.  So Almond Joy candy bars were not even part of my vocabulary.  I thought who in their right mind would eat such a weird candy bar.

Well somewhere along the way I wised up and now know just how delicious coconut can be.  Almond Joy candy bars is one of the things I steal out of my kids trick or treating bags!  I have become quite the fan of coconut.

A few months ago I hosted a big church event in my backyard for church.  We were going to have anywhere from 60 to 75 people attending and I was in charge of the dessert.  I wanted to make something that wasn’t too difficult to make, could be made ahead of time and would feed a lot of people.  Sheet cakes are usually my go to dessert that meets these requirements.  I wanted to make a few options, so I made a classic Texas sheet cake and then decided to also make this almond joy sheet cake.

    I knew that I would love this version, but not sure how the masses would feel about the addition of coconut to their chocolate cake.  By the end of the night, the almond joy sheet cake was declared the winner!  It was a hit.  Who knew there were so many coconut fans.

    Here are some other crowd favorite desserts that you might enjoy:
