I always use chocolate in my sweet recipes and sometimes savoury for garnish. But in the end, I use so many ingredients that it becomes a hassle at times to get some of them. So I thought to myself and decided that I would make a recipe that uses the least amount of ingredients and tastes delicious as well. Goji berries have been my all-time favourite dry fruit added in chocolate-making fillings. You can substitute with any dry fruit of your choice, be it dried cranberries, dry blueberries and so on. So for this recipe, my filling will be the berries and the desiccated coconut. The coconut will give the bounty bar a nice texture infused with the berries. And now for the best part! We will be using dark chocolate! It is loaded with nutrients and has many proven health benefits. It can help improve blow flow, protect you against cholesterol and with cocoa flavonoids present it may help with brain function.
Made with just three ingredients, you'll be rolling up these yummy treats everyday!
