"If you love Almond Joys or Mounds Bars like I do, then this pie is for you. What more could you ask for with this luscious pie? Sweet, chewy, coconutty and totally delicious just like the candy bar! If you don't like nuts or are allergic to them then you can make a Mounds Pie: Leave out the almonds and use dark chocolate instead. PLEASE NOTE: Best served at room temperature! If you'd like to eat it chilled, combine 3 tablespoons of room temperature heavy whipping cream to the melted chocolate mixture before filling and topping the pie. I got this from the lalabliss blog and it looked so delicious I had to post it so I can try it, and I know I won't be disappointed!"
