00:05well hello there folks and a very warm welcome back to what's for tea it's lovely to see you
00:11and i hope that i find you very well and today i've got these wonderful bounty bars it's just
00:17a lovely squidgy coconut covered in lovely milk chocolate they're so easy to make so let me go
00:23and show you how i made these and as we use the ingredients i will put them on the screen
00:28so the first thing you're going to need obviously is desiccated coconut i'm also going to use some
00:33cooking chocolate use whatever chocolate you prefer and then some sweetened condensed milk just
00:39to help bind everything together you won't need much of this like i said this is just going to
00:43act as a binder and then i'm going to add a touch of vanilla as well just a quarter teaspoon
00:48just to
00:49give it extra sweetness and then some icing sugar to give it that sort of you know creamy squidgy
00:55element so grab yourself a nice big bowl the first thing i'm going to add is my desiccated coconut
01:00and also that icing sugar you just want to combine both of these in the bowl just be careful because
01:06you don't want your icing sugar flying everywhere so just make sure you know that's well worked into
01:11your coconut and then i'm going to add the condensed milk and also the vanilla so you just want to
01:18combine
01:18these it may take you a few minutes just to make sure it's done properly make sure there's nothing
01:23dry left in the bottom of the bowl so i like to use a nice stiff spoon for this because
01:29easier to work
01:30the condensed milk into your coconut this way i find over a spatula just until it's looking like this and
01:37it's all uniform and just the one big ball so i am going to weigh this and i want about
01:4310 bars
01:44so i'm just going to divide my mixture into 10 but if you want smaller bars obviously you can have
01:50more it's entirely up to you but i quite you know i quite like chunky nice chunky bars so i'm
01:57going to
01:57divide mine into 10 balls and then with nice wet hands because this will be sticky so make sure your
02:04hands are wet i'm just going to form this into a cylinder or a log and then sort of flatten
02:10it down
02:10pat it down round the edges out until it looks something like this so do that for all of your
02:17mixture until it looks something like this you want to refrigerate this for about half an hour
02:22to an hour you want these nice and hard before they get into your melted chocolate so i'm just going
02:28to
02:28pop some water into the bottom of a pan add a bowl make sure the bottom of your bowl isn't
02:33touching
02:34the water and then you want to slowly heat your chocolate on a sort of low to medium heat you
02:39don't
02:40want this boiling furiously because you don't want to scorch your chocolate so just do it nice and slow
02:46probably take you about five or ten minutes just nice and easy like i said you don't want this furiously
02:52boiling away just gently melt this until it's all completely melted and once it's completely melted
02:59take it off the heat and then get your coconut nuggets out of the fridge if they are nicely set
03:07so we're just going to drop these into your chocolate sort of roll them around till i've got
03:11a nice thick coating of your chocolate i am using forks because it lets the chocolate drain you know
03:17the excess chocolate drain from underneath just give it a wee shake or give it a wee scrape underneath
03:24with your fork just to get rid of the excess from underneath just to make sure it doesn't stick
03:30to your wire rack make sure you get something under there to catch the dribbles
03:34and with a knife i'm just going to make some wee indentations on the top just like you would you
03:39know with a normal bounty bar so just keep going with all of your coconut bars dip them in the
03:46chocolate set them to the side make your wee indentations in the top until you've run out of
03:53your coconut bars just like this you know it's ever so easy now you want to let this set again
04:00in your fridge just until your chocolate is set might take another half an hour or an hour you
04:07know just give them the time that they need to make sure your chocolate is nice and firm and looking
04:13something like this you might get a wee bit of condensation on them just because they come out
04:18of the fridge into the warmer kitchen but that will go away as your bars come up to room temperature
04:24and would you look at these just as you would expect and these are beautiful and in my opinion
04:30better than the shop bought bounty bars mr watts for tea absolutely love these like i said i got about
04:3710 bars of this size from my mixture but if you're making them smaller you will get more so do
04:44let me know
04:45if you're planning and giving those ones ago well worth it in my opinion and a huge thank you as
