coconut and dark chocolate bounty bar slice

I love bounty bars but unfortunately they do not love me back. Being gluten free I try and avoid any sweet treat that has glucose syrup made from wheat. By making my own treats I know exactly what is in them. It is also an enjoyable experience and I find the process incredibly relaxing.

These bars include puffed amaranth which is a cereal available at all good health food stores. They are tiny little grains that look similar to couscous. Use dairy free chocolate chips if you after a dairy free option.
