bounty cakes

8oz desiccated coconut, 7oz tin condensed milk, 8oz chocolate
2 tbsps icing sugar
melt chocolate, mix rest of ingredients and rollinto small balls, dip in the choc, leave 10 mins to cool, put in small paper cases, or i suppose you could make them log shaped too

Hi
Look on https://www.allrecipes.com - it's an American site but there is a facility to convert the measurements to metric. Search under candy (the fudge recipes are to die for!!!). I used the site to make homemade fudge for my son's school fete and it went down a storm. Plus you can alter the yield to make more or less (more in our case).
Hope this helps
