Creating your own Bounty bars is as simple as mixing, shaping, and coating. Follow these steps to achieve coconut-chocolate perfection:

1. Mix: In a bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
2. Shape: Form the mixture into 8 bars and place them in the fridge to firm up for about 30 minutes.
3. Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
4. Coat Bars: Take the bars out of the fridge and place them on a wire rack over a tray. Pour the melted chocolate over each bar to coat evenly.
5. Set: Place the bars back in the fridge for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate, keeping any leftover chocolate warm.
6. Finish Coating: Once set, turn the bars over and repeat the coating process to cover all sides.
7. Decorate: Use a skewer to create design lines on top of each bar while the chocolate is still soft. Let them set completely before serving.
