Healthy Vegan Coconut Bounty Candy Bars Recipe
Enjoy a homemade version of this classic childhood chocolate bar, with these 5-ingredient healthy vegan coconut Bounty candy bars!
Equipment
- Stovetop Pot
- Heatproof bowl
- Spatula
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
For the Filling
- ½ cup shredded short-grain coconut unsweetened
- 1⅓ tbsp pure maple syrup
- ⅛ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch pink salt
- 1 tbsp refined coconut oil
For the Coating
- ¼ cup vegan semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
For the Filling
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients for the filling.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours to firm up.
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
- Once the mixture is firm, shape it into 4 oval shapes, similar to how a mini bounty candy bar looks like. Place these bars on the parchment paper.
For the Chocolate Coating
- Bring a pot of water to boil on the stovetop.
- Once boiling, remove from the stove. Place a heatproof bowl that is larger than the pot, over top of it.
- Add the chocolate into this bowl and keep stirring it with a spatula, until fully melted.
For Forming the Bars
- With a toothpick on either end of the candy bars, dip them carefully into the chocolate mixture to fully coat.
- Place each bar back onto the parchment paper.
- Let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- After this time, remove from the fridge and eat it chilled, or let it come to room temperature first. Enjoy!
