Are you a coffee drinker? I am and I’ll admit that I am one of those coffee drinkers who disguise their coffee with sugar and flavored coffee creamers (of all flavors)! I recently bought International Delights Almond Joy flavored creamer for the first time and the combination of chocolate, almond and coconut is addicting & inspiring. The craving for MORE of this trifecta of flavors led to the creation of this breakfast bowl and saved me a trip to the store to purchase the candy bar at 7 o’clock in the morning!
- ¾ cup water
- Salt
- ¼ cup instant grits, plain
- 1 tbsp. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp. sweetened shredded coconut
- Handful of roasted, unsalted almonds
- In a small saucepan lightly salt water and bring to a rolling boil.
- Add grits, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stir occasionally.
- Remove from heat, transfer to bowl and top with chocolate chips, coconut and almonds.
- Serve & enjoy! Yields 1 serving.

Renae,
What a great idea to top your breakfast with the ‘almond joy’ combo – love those flavors! I’m not much of a grits kind of girl, but I bet this would be good on yogurt or granola cereal, too!
I’m stopping by from The Weekend re-Treat :)
Hope you have a great Friday,
