Dark Chocolate Coconut Bars

A nostalgic coconut treat, reimagined with deeper cacao, richer texture and a little more grown-up indulgence.

When the dark chocolate Bounty disappeared, it left a coconut-shaped gap for those of us who prefer something less sweet and far more satisfying. So this is our 80Noir version: creamy coconut wrapped in deep dark chocolate, naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and made for slow, satisfying bites.

Makes 10–12 bars Or 20+ mini bites Gluten-free Dairy-free Freezer-friendly

Ingredients

A short, beautiful list of real ingredients - coconut, cacao, a little maple and a touch of sea salt.

For the Coconut Centre

  • 160g desiccated coconut
  • 100g full-fat coconut milk, solid part only
  • 3 tbsp full-fat coconut milk, liquid part
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

For the Dark Chocolate Shell

  • 150g 80Noir Ultra dark chocolate, melted
  • Use 87.5% for a rich, elegant coating
  • Use 100% for a deeper, more intense finish
Tip: Chill your coconut milk in the fridge overnight, then scoop the solid part and measure it separately from the liquid.

Method

Simple, tactile and wonderfully satisfying, especially if you make the mini versions.

  1. In a bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, coconut milk, maple syrup and sea salt until the mixture becomes sticky and cohesive. It may still look slightly textured that is exactly what you want.
  2. Shape the mixture into bars using your hands, or press into a mini silicone mould. A financier tray works beautifully for bite-sized pieces.
  3. Freeze for 1–2 hours, until firm enough to coat.
  4. Melt the 80Noir Ultra dark chocolate gently, then dip each coconut bar until fully coated.
  5. Place onto a lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate has set.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months. They are especially good straight from the freezer on a warm day.

Why These Are Better Than Store-Bought

Richer, darker and more satisfying, made with real ingredients that bring comfort without the sugar overload.

Dark Chocolate

Choose 87.5% or 100% for a naturally lower-sugar coating with deep cacao flavour and a truly grown-up finish.

Coconut

Desiccated coconut and coconut milk bring creamy texture, fibre, satisfying fats and that unmistakable tropical richness.

Maple & Sea Salt

A little maple syrup softens the bitterness, while sea salt lifts the flavour and makes the chocolate taste even more luxurious.

The Final Serve

Whether you are watching Wimbledon, craving something retro, or simply want a better kind of chocolate bar, these dark chocolate coconut bars are an easy win — mini or full-size.
