These Homemade Mini Bounty Bars are my go-to when I’m craving something sweet but still want it to feel nourishing. They’ve got that classic chocolate-and-coconut combo we all know and love, but made at home with simple ingredients and zero fuss. The coconut centre is soft, rich, and naturally sweet, while the dark chocolate coating gives you that satisfying snap, just like the store-bought version, but better.
They’re made in mini form, which makes them perfect for keeping in the fridge or freezer when you want a little something after dinner (or with an afternoon coffee). No baking required, minimal prep, and honestly… they taste like a treat you’d buy, not something you made in your kitchen.
Nutritional Benefits
These mini bars may taste indulgent, but they’re made with ingredients that actually offer some nutritional value:
Naturally satisfying fats
Coconut and coconut oil provide fats that help keep you full and satisfied, making these treats more crave-curbing than typical candy bars.
Lower in refined sugar
By making these at home, you control the sweetness. Using coconut-based ingredients and dark chocolate means less refined sugar compared to traditional candy bars.
Dairy-free and vegan
Perfect for anyone avoiding dairy or following a plant-based lifestyle, without sacrificing flavour or texture.
Portion-friendly treats
Making them mini helps with portion control while still giving you that chocolate-coconut fix.
Simple, whole-ingredient focused
No mystery ingredients here, just coconut, chocolate, and a few pantry staples you likely already have on hand.
Homemade Mini Bounty Bars
Description
These homemade coconut bounty bars are so easy, with simple ingredients. The dark chocolatey shell and creamy coconut centre are the perfect balance for an afternoon treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl add desiccated coconut, shredded coconut, condensed milk, melted coconut oil, pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well until it forms a thick paste.
-
In a 9 x 9 inch square pan press the paste down very firmly and evenly. Freeze for 20 mins.
-
Either temper chocolate or use melted chocolate using a double boiler or slowly melting in the microwave.
-
Cut the frozen coconut centre into even pieces of desired size and dip evenly into melted chocolate. I use a fork to dip each chocolate in the bowl of melted chocolate then place it on a parchment paper using a toothpick to remove it from the fork. You can also use a brush to brush the chocolate on all sides to create a thin even coat.
-
Let the chocolate settle and firm up then enjoy. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
