Making Bounty bars!


 I love baking so I decided to do another baking post, last weekend I actually decided to make bounty bars -If you don't know what they are they are basically coconut covered in chocolate. These were so easy and tasted amazing and they were just like the original ones. The best thing about these is that you only need 3 ingredients!

Ingredients-
1 tin condensed milk-379g
200g descinated coconut
300-400g chocolate- I needed 400g but I think I used a bit too much so it will depend on how much you cover each one.

Pour the coconut and condensed milk into a bowl and mix together with a wooden spoon, then taking handfuls of the mixture mold it into bar shapes (or you could even make balls). I found it a lot easier if myhands were a bit damp as the mixture did not stick to my hands as much. Place all of your "bars" onto a baking try lined with baking parchment and place them in the freezer until they are less sticky and hold their shape- do not completely freeze them. 

Break your chocolate up into pieces and melt either over a pan of boiling water or in the microwave- I chose the microwave as I find it a lot quicker and easier. I put it in the microwave(on medium heat) for 1 minute then took it out and stirred it then put it in for another minute. I then left it to cool down- not harden.

Once they are cool cover your coconut bars in chocolate and leave to set.

Once set enjoy!


These tasted amazing so I definitely recommend trying them out.
