I must admit, before I changed the way I ate, I was never a huge fan of bounty bars. They are always the hopeless little choccies, left lingering at the bottom of the Christmas box of celebrations. However, these little recreations are so, so tasty (and extremely moreish). They are way more indulgent than any shop bought bar and I am now, officially a bounty convert.
Unlike shop bought chocolate bars, which are riddled with nasty additives, these are packed with healthy fats, which our body needs in order to absorb important vitamins (as well as making our skin glow). Not to mention, these bars are completely; wheat, gluten, dairy and refined sugar free. I often make a big batch and freeze them, then enjoy them as a choc ice after dinner.
I hope you love them as much as me!
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
1 packet of coconut cream

Once frozen, remove the coconut slab from the freezer and cut into small squares / rectangles

I'd love to hear how you get on with making these :)
