5 Ingredient Bounty Bars

We used to absolutely adore snacking on these as kids. Our homemade version only requires 5 ingredients and they’re a serious treat.

Method

1. 1

   Spoon out the cream from the top of the tin of coconut milk, discarding the water (see notes) and put it into a mixing bowl with the desiccated coconut, golden syrup and a pinch of salt. Stir and add more desiccated coconut if the mixture is too wet.

   
2. 2

   Line a small tray with baking paper, then shape the mixture into 6 rectangles and place the coconut bars on the tray. Transfer the tray to the freezer and leave the bars to set for 1 hour.

   
3. 3

   Once the bars are chilled and solid, pour hot water into a saucepan on a low heat and sit a heatproof bowl on top, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Add the chocolate to the bowl and melt.

   
4. 4

   Remove the bars from the freezer. Sit each bar on a fork and use a spoon to coat them with the melted chocolate, then place on a rack to solidify.

   
5. 5

   Finish with a sprinkling of desiccated coconut. You can store these in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
