bounty chocolate recipe | bounty bar recipe | chocolate coconut bars with detailed photo and video recipe. an extremely popular snack chocolate bar recipe made with desiccated coconut and chocolate coating. basically, the chocolate bars were conceptualised by the mars chocolate company but has been adapted to many other types of coconut chocolate bars. these bars are generally appreciated by the young and children, but it would also be appreciated by adults and all age groups.
i still remember my school days and especially the summer holidays. during my summer holidays, my uncle and aunt use to travel india from the uk and canada. well, i was really looking forward to meeting them but i was also eagerly waiting for the overseas chocolate bars from them. there were specific and particular bars which i was keen and interested in and bounty bars were one of them. being a south indian, coconut and coconut-based recipes and desserts were an integral part of our cuisine. but the chocolate coconut bars were something special. perhaps it was due to the moist coconut bars and the super creamy chocolate coating. maybe if it was just the coconut or even the chocolate bars, it may not have got the same attention. the combination of these 2 makes it more special and tastier.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the bounty chocolate recipe. firstly, i have used the combination of coconut, milk and sugar which is the ideal combination for this recipe. yet you may experiment with the recipe with coconut and condensed milk too. moreover, with condensed milk, you do not have to cook either. secondly, with the coconut mixture, you may add other flavouring agents too as an experiment. you may perhaps add, mango pulp, cherry pulp or any other tropical fruit flavour. lastly, for the chocolate coating, take high-quality milk chocolate cooking bars. do not try these with normal chocolates as they would not melt or coat properly.
