Description
These Homemade Bounty Bars are a delicious treat made from sweetened coconut, condensed milk, and smooth milk chocolate. They’re easy to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with a tropical coconut flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250g desiccated coconut
- 250g sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 500g milk chocolate (or dairy-free alternative)
Instructions
- Mix: In a bowl, combine coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed.
- Shape: Form the mixture into 8 bars and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Melt: Gently melt the chocolate until smooth.
- Coat: Place bars on a wire rack over a tray. Pour melted chocolate over each bar, ensuring they are fully coated. Level with a skewer if needed.
- Chill: Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set, keeping chocolate warm.
- Repeat: Flip bars and coat the other side with chocolate, then chill again.
- Decorate: Use a skewer to create lines on top of the bars for decoration. Allow to set before serving.
Notes
- You can use dark chocolate for a richer taste, or a dairy-free chocolate alternative for vegan-friendly bars.
- For an extra crunch, add chopped almonds or hazelnuts into the coconut mixture.
- Make sure to keep the chocolate warm while coating the bars to avoid it hardening too quickly.
- Prep Time: 1 hour (including chilling time)
