Coconut Bounty Bar

This is a deliciously healthy version of the bounty bar. I really enjoyed creating this treat and everyone that has tried it, loves it. It is super simple with only a few ingredients. I have used dried dates to keep the cost of the ingredients reasonable, but if you prefer you can use medjool dates for the chocolate icing and then you don’t need to soften them in hot water.
