Homemade Bounty Chocolate

EVENT: SHHH COOKING SECRETLY

RECIPE: HOMEMADE BOUNTY CHOCOLATE

Homemade Bounty Chocolate, so easy to make, absolutely delicious. Maple Syrup and Vanilla flavoured soft moist coconut coated with dark or semi sweet chocolate.

This Homemade Bounty Chocolate is so much better than ready made one as it is less sweet and one can add any flavouring of choice to the moist coconut centre. Most people love homemade chocolate and if gifted to them it is even more appreciated. I prefer making edible gifts for festivals, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

SHHH COOKING SECRETLY #2

I recently joined this awesome group where food bloggers are paired and they give each secret ingredients to cook with. This is my second post for Shhh Cooking Secretly since I’ve joined. My partner this month is Srividhya Balaji. She blogs at Vidhas Kitchen. Srividhya gave me chocolate and milk powder to use in my recipe. At first I thought I’d make a barfi and then remembered that with raksha bandhan approaching, best to make what my brothers love…chocolates.

I gave Srividhya beetroot and paneer. With those ingredients she made a delicious and healthy paneer beetroot sandwich.

Memories

I started making my choco coconut bites on Friday and kept them in the fridge so that I could coat them with chocolate the next day. However that was not possible as there was no water! We woke up in the morning to find our taps dry. Everyone came out of their apartments to find out what the problem was. The pump had broken down and it was going to take a while to repair it.

Many homes in Mombasa have to store water in jerricans, buckets, huge plastic containers etc. Getting clean water in our taps is a huge problem. With the new government and each county having its own governing body, we had high expectations. But unfortunately things just seem to be getting worse, water problems, power cuts, roads full of potholes, insecurity. These are just a few of the problems. Everyone hopes that things will get better but when is the big question.

Instructions

 

• Melt the butter.

• Mix to make a soft dough.
• Rest the dough for 10-15 minutes.
• Wet your hands with water if necessary and make balls with the coconut dough. Take about a tablespoonful. Roll into a ball and flatten it slightly so it looks like a disc.
• Put the discs in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

Notes

• Put grated or chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Place it over a bowl or pan of hot water. The bowl should sit on the pan and not inside the pan. Stir till it melts.
• I prefer using dark or semi sweet chocolate.
• Add a flavouring of your choice.
• Dip the ball or disc into the chocolate and remove it with a fork. Shake the fork gently to remove excess chocolate.
• Make shapes from the coconut dough of your choice, small round balls or squares.
