Healthy Bounty Bars

I am a HUGE bounty fan and I love these Healthy Bounty Bars. Made with only 6 natural ingredients, couldn’t be easier!

Ingredients you need to make these Healthy Bounty Bars:

• Dates without pips, preferably medjool dates, they have a soft and creamy consistency and a slight caramel flavour
• Coconut cream, the thick part of a can of coconut milk that has been chilled in the fridge over night.
• Unsweetened shredded coconut, also called desiccated coconut
• Pink pitaya powder, this freeze dried fruit powder gives these bars their beautiful pink colour. Optional but highly recommend.
• Vanilla paste, you can also substitute for vanilla bean powder or vanilla extract
• Good quality dark chocolate chips or chocolate bar chopped. To keep these bars vegan, use a dairy free, vegan chocolate
• Coconut oil

How to make these bars:

Start off by taking out the pips from your dates. If they seam a little dry and firm, soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain the water and add the dates to a high speed food processor. Mix them until they are smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the chocolate and the coconut oil. Pulse until just combined.

Line a 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Push the mixture out in an even layer and place it in the fridge for at leas an hour or until firm.

Once the coconut filling is set, cut it into squares.

In a microwaveable bowl add the chocolate and 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Microwave on hight for 30 seconds and then stir. If the chocolate is not melted all the way, microwave for another 30 seconds then stir again. 

Pick up a square of the coconut filling and dip the coconut squares in the chocolate using 2 forks and working fast. Place it on a parchment paper and repeat with the rest of them. Place them in the fridge until the chocolate is set. Store in the fridge for 5-7 days.

Enjoy!!

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do!
