When I am waking up and I can see the sun shining through my window and the sky is completely azure blue I just now this is gonna be a great day! Exactley this happened this morning when I got up and enjoyed my first coffee of the day on our sunny terrace. Perfect start for a lazy day (don’t worry I am not that lazy, but I am working in the evenings right now until uni starts again in a few weeks) and perfect time for bounty style chocolates!
To enjoy the last sunny days I decided for an easy and summer-like recipe. Today’s main ingredients are chocolate and coconut flakes. For me the perfect summer combination! They must be stored at a cold place (fridge) and are not only so delicious also refreshing. The most important thing: You don’t even need an oven to create these delicacies!
… Just like a kiss of coconut and chocolate. Lovely comparison for me because I love coconut (haha and kissing of course;)

Those are beautiful, coconut and chocolate is so good. One of my favorite candy bars is a Mounds or Almond Joy. When I get a box of chocolates I always look for the coconut one. Love this.
Oh thanks! Coconut is just the best choice! 🙂
