Vegan Blueberry Bounty Bars

Vegan Blueberry Bounty Bars I'm really enjoying coming up with healthier vegan and gluten-free alternatives to some of my favourite treats and chocolate bars. I've already made my own healthified versions of Twix bars and Snickers and naturally I had to move on to creating a healthier version of bounty bars next! Bounty bars are up there as one of my all time favourite chocolate bars.

I've made simple tomato and basil bruschetta many times, then one day it occurred to me, why not add avocado? It made perfect sense.
