Ingredients for Coconut and Chocolate Snacks
- 5.3 oz Greek yogurt
- 2.1 oz shredded coconut
- 2 tsps honey
- 3.5 oz 70% dark chocolate
How to prepare homemade Bounty
Pour the Greek yogurt into a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of honey.
Add the shredded coconut and mix well simply with a fork. The mixture should be quite soft but not sticky; otherwise, add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut.
Take a small handful of the mixture and compact it between your hands to form small sticks. You can make them more or less large. I made 11.
As you prepare them, place them on a plate, and when you have prepared them all, let them firm up in the fridge for an hour. To speed up, you can leave them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Melt the dark chocolate in small pieces in a double boiler. Using tweezers or simply 2 teaspoons, dip the coconut sticks one at a time in the dark chocolate, trying to cover them on all sides.
Gradually place them on a tray covered with aluminum foil. Before the chocolate dries, decorate them with some shredded coconut.
Let the chocolate firm up in the fridge for at least an hour. To speed up, you can leave them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.

Loredana’s Tips
The Coconut Sweets can be stored in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for more days. If you store them in the freezer, take them out a few minutes before to let them soften
