Advantages: comes in two halves

Disadvantages: High in calories, can be a bit sickly

Having just doen one of my favourite chocolate bars - crunchie I thought I would write about one of my other favourites - the bounty bar.

Now I know that this bar isn't everyones cup of tea. Obviously as the centre of this bar is coconut if you don't like coconut this isn't the bar you should be eating!! However there are people who like coconut who dislike this bar - it is quite sweet as the coconut is compressed together with quite a sweet sauce almost so that it all combines together. The coconut is encased in quite thick chocolate so this can also make it a bit on the sweet side.

The standard size bar actually contains two bars - which I find quite good because often one of the halves is enough for me and then I can save the other half for later in the day.

One half of the bar contains 135 calories so you can see that if you eat both halves it is quite a calorie laden snack. I know it contains fruit but I don't think that it counts as one of your five a day!!!

Summary: A great, if high in calories snack
