Bounty bar is often marketed as two little bars wrapped in a single box. It includes a coconut filling and is covered in either dark chocolate (in a red wrapper) or milk chocolate (in a blue wrapper).
The fluffy, sweetened coconut in these handmade Bounty bars is encased in a thick layer of delicious dark chocolate. I adore how they’re unintentionally dairy-free and are just made with 4 ingredients!
Bounty Bars Ingrdients
Three cups of coconut shreds
Half a cup of powdered sugar
two-thirds cup condensed coconut milk
One or two cups of chocolate chips
Shredded Coconut
Unsweetened coconut shreds without any additional sugar. Desiccated coconut is preferable since it has a much finer consistency. It is sometimes referred to as macaron style coconut flakes.
This is the source of all the deliciously sticky and sweet flavor. Ensure that the milk you use is condensed, not evaporated.
Powdered sugar
preserves the contents while also adding a hint of sweetness to the richness. Try using powdered sugar without added sugar as an alternative.
Dark Chocolate
If you prefer milk chocolate, you can certainly use that as well. It works with chocolate chunks or chips.
How to make bounty bar recipe
- To prepare the coconut filling, place the coconut, condensed milk, and powdered sugar (if desired) in a big bowl. Even after coming together, the mixture should remain sticky.
- Shape into bars and chill: Using a spoon, shape the mixture into spherical rectangles that are 2 to 3 inches long. To make handling simpler, wet your hands. Let it cool for a full hour.
- Melt the dark chocolate according to the directions on the package and dip the bars into it. The chocolate ought to be shiny and silky. Coat every candie entirely with chocolate by dipping it in it.
- To harden, place on parchment paper or a wire rack. Chill for approximately half an hour prior to serving.

Tips for Bounty bar
If you would like have a sweeter chocolate bar, you may omit the powdered sugar.
To effortlessly roll the bars through the chocolate, use two forks.
The coconut bars should be chilled before being dipped in chocolate to allow for setting; otherwise, they may crumble.
