A healthier version of a Bounty Bar with an almond. I think in Australia they are called Almond Joys. It's been a while since I bought a candy bar!

Just love a little bounty bar…with an almond in it…and a healthy one? Even better. SO knock yourself up a few of these, and then sit back and enjoy guilt free. They are called Almond Mound bars in the USA which is where I remember them from. We do have a very authentic Bounty Bar recipe on this site that you could just add an almond to, but this is much quicker, maybe not as ridgey didge but much healthier overall.

Do

1: Place coconut, oil, salt, vanilla and maple syrup into Thermomix bowl and blend 4-6 min/70ºC/speed 8, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as necessary.
2: Spread into paper lined tin of choice. Score bars into top and stud each piece with an almond. (I used a silicone bar mould, if you are lucky enough to have one, this is way easier.)
3: Cool in fridge until solid.
4: Melt chocolate with a few tbsp coconut oil in the microwave on high.
5: Cut bars through and 'glue' an almond on top of each bar with a dab of chocolate. Coat fully in chocolate mixture. Arrange on a cooling rack with paper underneath until set. May need to be refrigerated.
6: Keep in the fridge. Enjoy without guilt!
