Keto Bounty Bars

The Keto Bounty Bars are not just another dessert; they’re a sweet escape that takes me back to my childhood! I remember the delight of unwrapping a chocolate bar after a long day, the promise of a rich, coconut-filled treat inside. As an adult, I’ve come to appreciate flavors that don’t compromise on health, which is why I created these Keto Bounty Bars. They bring that nostalgic joy without the sugar crash that usually follows. Every bite brings together the creamy texture of coconut and the satisfying richness of chocolate, and they are incredibly easy to make! Whether it’s a midday snack or a sweet treat after dinner, these bars have become my go-to recipe for satisfying that chocolate craving while sticking to my low-carb lifestyle.

What You’ll Need for Keto Bounty Bars

These ingredients work together beautifully to create a deliciously satisfying and healthy treat. The rich flavor of sugar-free chocolate pairs perfectly with the sweetness of desiccated coconut and the creaminess of coconut cream. Together, they create the perfect blend of flavors and textures that make these bars irresistible.

• 7 oz sugar-free chocolate – This is the star ingredient! You can also use 90% dark chocolate or 100% unsweetened chocolate if you prefer a less sweet flavor.
• 1 cup desiccated coconut – This unsweetened coconut adds a chewy texture and rich flavor, essential for that classic bounty taste.
• 3 tablespoons coconut cream – Provides a creamy texture and rich mouthfeel; you can chill a can of coconut milk to separate the cream from the liquid.
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil – This helps to bind the ingredients together and gives a lovely sheen to the chocolate coating.
• 1-2 tablespoons allulose – Use this or your favorite sweetener to enhance the sweetness of the filling.

How to Prepare Keto Bounty Bars

Making Keto Bounty Bars is a delightful adventure in the kitchen! With just a few steps, you’ll create a treat that will satisfy your sweet cravings. Follow along as I guide you through the process.

1. Start by melting half of the chocolate. I prefer to do this in a pot over low heat, but a microwave works just as well. If you’re using unsweetened chocolate, sweeten it with drops of stevia once it cools down to a lukewarm temperature. Aim for about 12 drops per 100g of chocolate.

2. Prepare a small casserole dish (about 10×7 inches) by lining it with parchment paper. This makes removing the bars much easier later. Pour the melted chocolate into the dish and spread it evenly across the bottom.

3. Now, place the dish in the fridge or freezer to harden for about 5 to 15 minutes. While it sets, you can prepare the filling.

4. For the filling, combine the desiccated coconut, coconut cream, coconut oil, and allulose in a food processor. Blend it until the mixture is soft and sticky, which should take around 2 minutes. If you don’t have a food processor, an immersion blender in a tall mixing bowl works too!

5. Once the chocolate base is set, spread the coconut filling over it, pressing it down firmly. I often find that using only half of the filling gives a nice chocolate-to-coconut balance, but feel free to use more if you want it more coconutty!

6. Next, melt the remaining half of the chocolate and pour it over the coconut filling, ensuring it covers it entirely. If you like, sprinkle some shredded coconut on top for added texture and decoration.

7. Return the dish to the fridge and let it cool until fully set, usually another 5 to 15 minutes. Once solid, use a sharp knife to cut the bars into 15 to 20 pieces, depending on your preferred size.
