Probably, all of you have tried Mounds – candy bar made by Hershey’s. This candy is known worldwide. Great combination of coconut and chocolate. In some countries, there is Bounty – a similar coconut-filled chocolate bar made by Mars, Incorporated.
We all know that these purchased chocolate bars are high in sugar. That’s the point – to be sweet. So if you are on a diet, forget about them. Well, now you can make your own Mounds – sugar-free and low in carbs, but equally delicious.
