BOUNTY CHOCOLATE BAR

Bounty bar is a chocolate popularized by the company Mars Incorporated. It is a chocolate bar with coconut fillings coated with milk chocolate or dark chocolate. It is very easy to make this bounty bar at home itself and you get a great satisfaction that you have made the bounty bars yourself for the festive occasion. This bar is loved by Coconut lovers. As said earlier, you can use milk compound or dark compound for making this chocolate. You need to take a few minor precautions while making this chocolate. The chopping board, spatula and the bowls what you use should be clean and fully dry. Any moisture will make the chocolate very hard and the chocolate will become useless.  You have to take care that the bottom of the chocolate melting bowl which is placed in hot water should not touch the water. If you want to melt the chocolate in micro oven, use a micro oven safe vessel. And place the bowl in micro oven just for a minute and mix immediately. And then keep again for a minute and mix again. Continue in such small steps till the chocolate melts completely.

Now, let us start making this Bounty Bar.

Ingredient :

Desiccated Coconut – 1 cup   https://youtu.be/l52Lv7sFOFs 

Condensed Milk – 1/3 cup

Chocolate Milk Compound or Dark Compound – 100 Gms

(You can mix both Milk and Dark compound and use also)

Method:

Cut the chocolate compound into chips and take the chips in a bowl.

Take the Condensed Milk and Desiccated Coconut in a mixing bowl. Combine them well to form dough like consistency.

Take a small portion of this dough in your hand and check whether it binds perfectly without crumbling into small pieces. If not, add an additional spoon of condensed milk and combine well.

Scoop out a little quantity of this mix and shape it into a bar with your hands. Make more such bars from the remaining mix.

Keep these bars in a tray and refrigerate for an hour.

Let us start preparing the chocolate coating.

Heat the water in a vessel. Place the vessel containing the chocolate chips in it. Take extreme care and ensure that the water does not spill into the chocolate. Start stirring the chocolate with a spatula and keep stirring to ensure that the chocolate does not burn at the bottom. Ensure to keep the flame low or medium and keep the water just boiling. Once the chocolate is fully melted, remove the vessel with the chocolate from water.

Start dipping the Coconut bars (which we have made and kept ready) one by one into the chocolate and coat with the melted chocolate with a fork.  Remove and allow the excess chocolate to drain out.

Place the coated chocolate bounty bars in a butter paper or parchment paper.

Refrigerate the bars for 30 to 40 minutes till the bars are set.

Take them out, trim the edges of the bars.  You can now store them in air tight containers.
