Chef's note
Go ahead and add your unique touch to these sugar-free bounty bars! Prefer milk chocolate over dark? Use keto-friendly milk chocolate chips instead. In the mood for a dash of vanilla? Mix some extract into the coconut blend. And if you're after a bit more sweetness, fine-tune the amount of monk fruit sweetener. Remember, in your kitchen, you make the rules.

Instructions
- Mix coconut flakes, monk fruit sweetener, xanthan gum, and coconut milk in a bowl until you get a nice, cohesive dough.

- Once the chocolate has set, your sugar-free keto bounty bars are ready to be savored.
Chef's pro tip
Make sure your coconut bars are nice and firm before you dip them in the melted chocolate. If they feel a bit squishy, they might fall apart, and we don't want that! A quick trick is to put them in the freezer for a last-minute chill to ensure they're solid enough for a perfect chocolate coating.

Karolina Nowak says
Is the xanthan gum required? Any substitute options?
Cast Iron Keto says
Hi Karolina,
Xanthan gum is important for binding, but you can substitute it with psyllium husk powder. If you skip xanthan gum, the coconut mixture may not bind as well, leading to bars that are more prone to crumbling and less firm. They might still taste good but won’t hold their shape as neatly.
