Since cleaning up my diet many years ago now, Bounty bars or coconut roughs are not something that feature regularly in my week.

I missed that salty, tropical coconut flavour so set out to create the perfect healthy replacement.

While creating these, I had some fresh raspberries calling out to be eaten in my fridge.

Adding them to the coconut mix turned out to be a great choice as they add a delicious, subtle sourness which is a lovely compliment to the sweet chocolate and coconut.

I'm a salty-sweet addict, so these bars had to be topped with a generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

If you're not a salt enthusiast, feel free to leave this out.

Raspberries offer more than just delicious tartness to these treats.

Recent studies are demonstrating anti-cancer benefits associated with the phytonutrients within raspberries.

They are also a great source of vitamin C, manganese and fibre. Learn more simple nutrition facts like these here.

Not keen on that extra nutrition? Sub out the raspberries. You could leave them out completely for a pure, unadulterated bounty bar.

Or swap them up for strawberries, blueberries or even pineapple or mango for a real tropical treat!
