Homemade Bounty

Some people hate nuts. Some people detest coconut. Mostly those who do not like nuts, do not like coconut, either. And on the other hand those, who like coconut love nuts, as well. Why this? I have no idea, coconuts are not real nuts, actually. They are fruit indeed. But some people I know, do not like coconut in general, but they love bounty bars.

Humans are confusing.
When I noticed this after talks to my friends about their eating habits, I knew that homemade bounty bars would have fans. Yippie :)

I found a very VERY easy recipe on „Lick the Spoon“ http://lickthatspoon.blogspot.de/ .
Five ingredients, one success. Just try it out.

Homemade Bounty

3 cups (700 ml) dessicated coconut
½ tin (about ½ cup or 200 g) sweetened condensed milk
60 – 85 g (1/2-3/4 cup) powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla essence
350g (13 oz) dark chocolate, melted

Combine the coconut and condensed milk in a bowl. (I did this with my hands as I didn’t want to spread coconut all over the kitchen with my handheld mixer.) Add powdered sugar, until the mixture is stiff and less sticky. Combine with the vanilla.

Form 24 to 30 bars with your hands. Let them chill in the freezer for at least 45 minutes.
