To make my Healthy Homemade Mound Bars all you have to do is simply blitz up some shredded coconut, maple syrup and coconut oil. It really is a foolproof recipe as the food processor does most of the work. After the coconut center is made I transfer it to a baking tray to set into one large square. After a short time in the fridge I cut the coconut into generous bars, and dip in rich melted chocolate.
My Healthy Homemade Mounds keep really well in the refrigerator for week and they make great edible gifts.
