Dark Chocolate Bounty Bars
These dark chocolate bounty bars are made with only 5 ingredients and are so easy to put together. They're more wholesome than the real thing and also happen to be vegan/dairy-free.
Ingredients
- 160g desiccated coconut
- 100g full fat coconut milk* the solid part only (see notes)
- 3 tbsp full fat coconut milk** the liquid part (see notes)
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 150g dark chocolate melted
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients apart from the dark chocolate to a food processor and blend until you have a smooth(ish) mixture.
- Shape into 10-12 bars using your hands, then arrange them on a baking sheet/chopping board lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze for 1-2 hours, then dip in the melted chocolate to coat.
- Arrange back onto the baking sheet, then refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
Notes
* Refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight, then scoop out 100g/6 tbsp of the solid part that sits at the top of the can. Choose a coconut milk can with 55% coconut extract or above.
** Here I'm referring to the clear liquid at the bottom of the can of chilled coconut milk. Alternatively you can use another milk of choice like oat, almond, etc.
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze well!
