Almond Joy™ has always been one of my favorite candies. When International Delight® came out with an Almond Joy™ and Hershey’s ® coffee creamer that is gluten free and lactose free, I was beyond excited! I can finally have candy in my coffee. There are so many fun things you can do with a coffee creamer. Also, coffee is literally one of the highlights of my day. I legit wake up to drink coffee. There is nothing like a sweet cup of deliciousness first thing in the morning and International Delight® creamers provide this, but what is better than a delicious and lightly sweetened scone that pairs perfectly with your coffee? Good luck finding something!
You will need to save this recipe to make it for your girlfriend’s next coffee day. Whether they are gluten free and lactose free or not, does not matter because these scones are that good.
