Tips and tricks for making the perfekt Keto Bounty

• When making coconut bars, we need to work very fast to ensure that the coconut filling does not start to split.
• It is best to use a high-speed blender or food processor to speed up the process, as well as to ensure that the ingredients are fully combined. Mixing by hand is good, but longer stirring is required.
• Cut the coconut sticks and place them in the freezer for 5 minutes before dipping in the melted chocolate. This will ensure that if you use chopped coconut shavings that are not thick, they will not fall apart.
• Homemade keto bars can be stored at room temperature, but are best chilled. This will ensure that they retain their shape. Also, you can store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
