When it comes about veganism, some people as an excuse, why they could never go vegan, use the fact that all delicious snacks are not vegan. Partially it’s true, because most of them contain milk or butter. But what if I told you that it’s actually very easy to make your own famous sweets at home? Isn’t it great that you can not only prepare your favorite chocolate bars by yourself, but it also costs less to make many of them? I think that these are some of the reasons, why skeptical people should reconsider going vegan. Because it is really very easy to treat yourself with delicious sweets that haven’t caused any sufferance to animals. And my easy homemade vegan Bounty bars can prove that to you!
Don’t think that it’s possible to veganize only Bounty bars. The truth is that you can make also vegan versions of Snickers, Twix, KitKat and other famous chocolate bars. For me the making of vegan Bounty bars seems the easiest one. I mean, first, you need only 4 ingredients that can be easily found in any supermarket. And second, the making of these bars will take you only some minutes. To be honest – the necessary amount of time to make these easy homemade vegan Bounty bars is actually smaller than the waiting time until the chocolate hardens. But it’s all worth it – also the waiting!
Ingredients for the easy homemade vegan Bounty bars
To prepare these easy homemade vegan Bounty bars you’ll need 4 ingredients: shredded coconut, the white solid part of canned full fat coconut milk, maple syrup and good quality dark vegan chocolate. If your full fat coconut milk has not been kept in fridge, you must place it there for 1 night before using it. That’s important, otherwise the white solid part won’t be separated from the liquid part. To avoid situations where you want to prepare something with just the solid part of coconut milk, I advise you to always keep the can in the fridge. In such a way your coconut milk will always be ready, in case you need it already separated. Or, if instead for some other recipes you need it homogenous, you can simply melt it. But not for this recipe – here we need only the solid part of the coconut milk!
How to prepare easy homemade vegan Bounty bars
The preparation process itself is as easy and counting till three! First, you need mix together shredded coconut, the white solid part of full fat coconut milk and maple syrup. Second, you need to create bars from the obtained mixture by using your hands. And, third, you simply need to cover the bars with melted dark vegan chocolate. And that’s it! After that, the bars need to be placed in fridge until the chocolate hardens. And after that you can enjoy all the Bounty flavor magic – minus the cruelty against animals, of course!

- 200 g of shredded coconut
- 200 g of the white solid part of full fat coconut milk (refrigerated overnight before use)
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 250 g of dark vegan chocolate
Ingredients
|
|
- in a bowl mix together shredded coconut, the white solid part of full fat coconut milk and maple syrup – I advice mixing with your hands, since the mixture is very thick. Taste the mixture to adjust the sweetness to your taste – if desired, add extra maple syrup;
- with your hands create bars that are in size and shape similar to the original Bounty bars, and place them on a plate covered with parchment paper;
- place the prepared bars for some minutes in freezer. Meanwhile melt the dark chocolate either in a microwave (use low power to avoid burning the chocolate) or in a water bath (bain marie). Then let the chocolate cool down a bit, until it’s not burning hot anymore;
- take out the bars from the freezer and with help of two forks, roll each bar in the melted chocolate until the bar is completely covered from all sides. Hold the bar on a fork for some seconds to let the extra chocolate drop off, then place the bar back on the parchment paper. Continue with the rest of the bars;
- place all the chocolate covered bars in fridge for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
* the size of each bar is intended to be similar to the original Bounty bar’s size
