Crunchy, slightly sweet and with a delicious coconut flavor. You can prepare these bars in just 30 minutes and only 5 ingredients.
Do you also love Bounty chocolate bars? When I was young there was an advertisement on the television in which someone took a bite from the bar and you believed you were on a tropical island. Or you thought you were. At least the advertisers would like you to believe that. And the advertisement did make an impression as I'm sharing this memory with you.
But in a store bought bounty bar there are 14 ingredients. Quite a lot. Off course you need some extra ingredients when making them in bulk and make sure they can be stored for numerous months, but did you know that it takes only 5 ingredients to get this delicious bar, whereas you take a bite, you think you are on a tropical warm island (a bit funny because when typing this for you it's -4 degrees Celsius outside :-), but it makes it sounds even better). And you just have to mix the ingredients, press them in the baking tin, bake them for only 20 minutes and it's done.
I'm going to bake another tin with bars. Not only to keep it warm inside (always great warmth from the oven) but it tastes and smells delicious). Sweet (dream) vacation
It's a good taste!

Hi,
These were delicious thank you , however they did not turn out cruncy and were very soft, any ideas why?
Andréa says
Hi, I've made these several times and they were crunchy all the times. Maybe you did something different (and I would love to know so I can make this recipe as foolproof as possible). Did you weigh all the ingredients? And did you use dark chocolate (cocoa >50 %), otherwise there could be to much fat in the chocolate. And did you use a conventional or convection oven. Let me know, and I'll try to find the answer.
