Homemade Bounty Bars with Coconut and Chocolate
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (or other sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if you prefer)
Preparation
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and then add them to a food processor or blender. Blend for a couple of minutes or until you achieve a texture you like.
Spread over a glass container or silicone mould or any tray slightly thicker than the bar you would like to have. Then place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate. It’s best to do it on a double boiler but you could also do it in the microwave in 10-15 second increments.
Dip each bar in the melted chocolate and set aside to dry. I like my bounty extra chocolate-y so I dipped them twice.
You can store the bounty bars in the freezer in a sealed container and they can last for up to two months.
