Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Coconut Mixture
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
Chocolate Coating
  • 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cacao or more) for coating
Optional Toppings
  • chopped nuts
  • sea salt
  • cacao nibs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
  2. Take a tablespoon of the coconut mixture and shape it into small bars or balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to allow the bars to firm up.
Coating
  1. While the bars are chilling, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  2. Once the bars are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
  3. Return the chocolate-coated bars to the parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle with toppings before the chocolate sets.
  4. Place the bars back in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes to let the chocolate harden.

Notes

Store the Healthy Bounty bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped individually for about three months.
