Homemade Bounty Bar Bites

Homemade Bounty Bar Bites

Posted 2014-07-19 by Clare DeVillefollow
Every now and then I'm overcome with the urge to indulge in a Bounty chocolate bar (admittedly it always seems to happen while walking through the chocolate aisle at the supermarket...). More often than not I resist the urge but not always. When I faced my most recent temptation I decided to take matters into my own hands and create my own Bounty bar, free from artificial ingredients, and at a cost well below $2.50 per bar.

The finished product


I've experimented with two versions, one using coconut milk and the other coconut oil; the oil version holds together slightly better, but the cream version is naturally a little creamier. Both versions are delicious and incredibly simple with only four ingredients, and have been a big hit so far.

Ingredients

Version 1
  • 1 cup dessicated coconut
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice malt syrup (or liquid sweetener of your choice)
  • 100 gm dark chocolate

  • Version 2
    Exactly the same as the first but replace the coconut oil with one quarter cup of coconut milk or cream.

    Method
  • Add the dessicated coconut to a blender and mix for a minute.
  • Add the coconut oil or milk, and the syrup and blend until the mixture clumps together.



  • Using your hands, fashion the mix into small bite size bars (or any size and shape you like) and put in the freezer to set.



  • Melt your chocolate in a double boiler or a heat proof bowl over a saucepan of water (don't let the bowl touch the bottom of the saucepan).
  • Dip your bars into the melted chocolate to coat then put back in the fridge to set on a plate or tray lined with baking paper.

  • Enjoy!

    These homemade Bounty bar bites would be fabulous for a party treat.
