Instructions

Making the Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut and coconut flour, ensuring there are no lumps.
  • Add the maple syrup and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Use your hands to shape the mixture into bar shapes.
  • These don’t need to be perfect; a more rustic appearance with random shapes is charming.
  • Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to harden.

Creating the Chocolate Coating:

  • With 5 minutes left on the timer for the coconut bars in the fridge, prepare the chocolate coating.
  • In a heatproof bowl, set up a bain-marie.
  • Melt the coconut oil and maple syrup together, then add the cacao powder and stir well, ensuring there are no lumps.
  • Remove the coconut bars from the fridge and dip them into the chocolate mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  • Place the coated bars onto a cooling rack or parchment paper and return them to the fridge for 1 hour to harden.
  • If you’re in a hurry, you can use the freezer to speed up the process.

Final Touch:

  • Before serving, you can drizzle any remaining chocolate mixture over the top of the bars and sprinkle them with desiccated coconut for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
  • Enjoy your homemade Mini Bounty Bars, a delightful and healthier alternative to the classic candy bars!
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the edges become firm, but the centers remain slightly soft.
  • Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
