Almond Mound Bars
Bounty Bar with an almond...a healthy one!
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. I think these are called Almond Mound bars in the USA, and we have them here in OZ, but they are called something different…any ideas as to what? It’s been so long since I bought a candy bar, (no really) that I have no idea. Still, whatever they’re called, I’ll definitely have these in my rotation! Delish!
