I’ve just read that Mars are permanently ceasing production of the dark chocolate Bounty. If this is true, I am genuinely bereft.

I'm upset dairy milk stopped doing the marvellous creations bar with the shortbread biscuit in and strawberry, does anyone remember them? But they still do the jelly popping candy ones. Also bounty are horrible, they are the chocolates that always get left in the celebrations tub. Galaxy and snickers are much better

I thought they had already been discontinued as I haven't seen one in ages. And I do tend to have a quick check if I'm in a 'new' shop. Not obsessed😬

Making your own has been mentioned. Does anyone have a recipe? The thought that I could make a whole truckload of the bastards is very appealing.

Basically, just find a coconut ice recipe, make that, and then chop it into bounty-sized bits and cover it in dark chocolate.

Oh no!!!! Dark Bountys are the best Bounty by a country mile!!
Anyone remember ice cream Bountys?
It was heaven on earth for a while when they were available.....

The blue bounties get left in the tub. Blue bounties are ick. If they had red ones in the celebration tub it would be a different ball game.

YANBU i hate bounty and most coconut things but the dark chocolate versions are usually superior to milk chocolate and it goes past disappointment when they are a favourite and either discontinued or the new & improved cheaper recipe is terrible.
Good luck with the DIY version, Aldi/Lidl do some good dark chocolate cheap.

WellThisIsFun1 · 24/09/2023 11:10

They were my favourites. I feel sad too...

TheYearOfSmallThings · 24/09/2023 11:14

I'm sorry for your loss, and my deepest sympathy goes out to you at this difficult time 🙏.

I've always preferred the blue ones myself. Maybe if you chip the milk chocolate off a blue one and put the coconut carcase between two strips of dark chocolate, that might work?

Ladyj84 · 24/09/2023 11:25

I don't like dark chocolate so all good for me. Mind saying that I don't like coconut but will still eat the as I adore the chocolate in them then chomp the damn coconut for ages lol

RampantIvy · 24/09/2023 11:26

I don't understand why anyone prefers the milk chocolate one. It is too sweet and sickly.

Heartfullofcheese · 24/09/2023 11:29

Is there anywhere left with them so I can ahem… buy a few/truckload.

Not the same but also a coconutty retro treat: found some of those raspberry coconut covered with dark chocolate bars called ruffles. Can be bought in b and ms in packs.

I also love these. My local shop sells little ones in big jars😄

Motheroftweenagers · 24/09/2023 11:49

We tried one of the recipes you can find online with condensed milk and they came out really well

Tessisme · 24/09/2023 11:52

Thank you, I will do that @Persipan! Maybe even today😆

NoseForTruffles · 16/11/2023 17:34

Now the other arm need a black armband for Caramac. I just heard about Hotel Chocolat and I'm running out of arms now!

Stop cancelling chocolate! I'm not an octopus!

Whowhatwherewhenwhy1 · 16/11/2023 20:39

Make your own. Literally just mix dessicated coconut with condensed milk. Roll to shape. Chill then dip in dark choxolate refrigerate and gobble!

daffodilandtulip · 16/11/2023 21:00

I read this as bunny and wondering why people are talking about Easter when it's nearly Christmas. I think I need more sleep.

I do agree with you though. With the bounty.

Scruffington · 16/11/2023 21:04

I never knew they made a dark chocolate Bounty!

HighlandCowSaysBooNotMoo · 16/11/2023 22:47

They remind me of my grandad 🥲
