DIY peanut butter cups and bounty!!!

So recently I have been on a "eat better feel better" kind of buzz, so I have been trying really really really hard to stick to it but I say if you cant eat something you want every now and then you will end up pigging out at some stage.
My moto is "Broccoli = good for your body chocolate = good for your soul"

That being said I have come up with some tasty treats you can enjoy almost guilt free..

Chocolate coconut bites (bounty)

Ingredients

150g Dark chocolate 70%+

6 tbsp shredded coconut (desiccated coconut)

6 tbsp meltedish organic virgin coconut oil

mould I used a silicone cake pop mould

Method

1. Melt chocolate in a bain marie or a bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water.

2. Pour enough chocolate into each mould to line the case, not to thin. put in freezer to set for few mins. leave enough to cover the chocolate at the end!!

3. Meanwhile, mix together your slightly melted (not hot) coconut oil and shredded coconut in a bowl. 

4. Your chocolate should be set now. Fill up your chocolate cases with the coconut mixture, not to full leave 3-4mm  at the top for the lid and place in the freezer again to set.

5. Make a cup of herbal tea!

6. Take out of the freezer and spoon on the remainder of the chocolate to comletely cover the coconut. freeze one last time, then pop out of the moulds and store in an air tight container. (mine are left in the fridge as the weather is HOT)

Chocolate peanut butter bites (peanut butter cups)

This is just a variation on the above recipe. Replace the two coconut products use in the bounty ones with just peanut butter. You will not need the end of step 4 (placing in freezer) or step five - although step five is optional ;). Follow the rest of the recipe and enjoy!
