Easy Mound Bars
6 Simple Ingredients Make These Coconut & Chocolate Bars!
My favourite chocolate bar is Bounty (or Mounds which tastes the same). I just love the creamy coconut filling wrapped inside the chocolate coating. So when I found this recipe for Mound Bars on Allrecipes.com I just had to try it, all the while hoping it would at least resemble the delicious flavour combination of my chocolate bar. This recipe begins with a graham cracker crust, which of course differs from the original bar…hmm I wondered how that would taste. Then comes a layer of coconut, sweetened condensed milk and chocolate. And finally it was time for my taste test. The result was a delicious crumbly crust, the sweet taste of chocolate and the best part…the creamy coconut flavour that I love! If you enjoy the mix of chocolate and coconut together like I do, you’re going to love this easy and quick dessert. Enjoy!
