This recipe was inspired by my Dad: each time we would stop at a gas station he would grab a bounty at the cashier and I would always get a bite of it. Today, neither of us can eat them anymore so I started making them at home. Anyways, anything homemade is best.
These bounties have an extra layer of dates but it’s totally optional, you can only also just go with the three main ingredients:
- Coconut shreds
- Dark chocolate
- Maple Syrup
This recipe is perfect for:
- A to-go snack
- Little mignardise to enjoy with your coffee or tea
- An easy recipe to make with your kids or friends
- A sweet gift to bring to a dinner party
- Getting rid of old dried fruit: blending them with the cashews will revive them and avoid wasting them
