Blissed out Bounties!



I'm not a big chocolate fan, but there are some tastes I miss. Such as Bounty Bars. Holy wow. Who doesn't think of the soft, gooey, delicious coconut treat with fondness and longing. Well now you can make your own! Without sugar, gluten or dairy but with mega amounts of taste and mouth watering meltiness. And it's easy. And raw. Live it up my friends!

Recipe:
1 cup shredded coconut
3 1/2 to 4 tbsp agave, rice syrup or pure maple syrup
2 tbsp virgin coconut oil
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup plus 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
up to 1 1/2 tsp rice syrup or pure maple syrup
1/4 cup liquid virgin coconut oil

Method:
Combine first 5 ingredients in a food processor or by hand if you are especially tough!  Press the filling into the bottoms of mini muffin cups or into the buttom of a flat container. (Press HARD!) Freeze at least 25 minutes. 

Meanwhile, make the chocolate coating by mixing the last three ingredients together to make a thin sauce. Line a tray with wax or parchment paper, then pop out the now-hardened coconut treats and coat in chocolate. Immediately put them in the fridge or freezer, as coconut oil melts when warm.

These CAN last you a week. But I doubt they will be around that long. The. Best.
