Bounty Bites

Bounty bars – you either love them or you hate them. They’re the marmite of the chocolate bar family. Personally, I love them and I love this healthier spin just as much as the real deal, if not more!

Ingredients:

3 cups desiccated coconut

¾ cup coconut oil, melted

4 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

250g dark chocolate

Method:

In your food processor blend together the desiccated coconut, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla

extract for about 6–8 minutes until it forms a paste.

Press the mixture into a square silicone baking dish ensuring it is evenly spread.

Melt the chocolate very gently and pour on top.

Place in your fridge to set for a couple of hours, until solid.

Portion into squares, serve and enjoy!
