I have made these a couple of times and they are very near the real thing.I have also rolled the mixture into balls before dipping. 1 cup coconut, 2 tbls. icing sugar, condensed milk as needed, 200g chocolate dark or milk. Mix together icing sugar, coconut and enough milk to need to a paste.Shape into pieces and chill for 15 mins. Dip in melted chocolate and leave to set.

I used to love Bounty bars in my high carb days, but now it's enough just to open my jar of Celebes coconut oil and get a whiff!

Duh #6. I see two of the four ingredients are mostly sugar (condensed milk and chocolate). One ingredient is pure sugar (icing sugar) Add to that the carb high coconut and the highly processed milk component of the condensed milk. Also the chocolate probably has processed vegetable fats, which are actually transfats. I say no more.

buzzy110, Making this recipe for an occasional treat to share at Christmas time is fine, you aren't meant to pig out on them.There is only 2 Tbls icing sugar and about 2 tbls con milk needed in the recipe. Using dark chocolate is better than milk anyway, esp if 72% and making them into balls gives smaller portions. Homemade is always better than bought.

I would suggest you make a triple recipe of these bars at once, then dip half of them into white-flour batter (could add some more sugar to the batter too) and then deep fry them to really make it worthwhile. The other half of them can go into the freezer for tomorrow :)

Pleased you liked them susan21. At least most posters were happy with the recipe. But I say, uli's suggestion is REALLY unhealthy.

nauru thanks for the recipe; it sounds sinfully delicious. :)
We're all intelligent enough to figure out for ourselves that this would be an occasional treat - so just ignore the unnecessary & sarcastic comments. Nobody is forcing anyone to eat it!Cheers.

Hmmmm, I really like davidt4's suggestion for Deep Fried Ambrosia although I think it may prove to be technically challenging, don't you?Maybe you could pass the idea on to Heston Blumenthal as I'm certain he would be able to overcome any difficulties that may arise. Seriously, nauru, that sounds like a delicious OCCASIONAL TREAT idea and I have added it to my Christmas file. Thank you very much for the recipe.

I wonder what it would be like with toasted coconut.
uli,

Don't wonder rebecca12 - deep fry them in coconut oil then they are toasted and you can try it out :) Let us know how you got on
