Nothing worked. The people at the desk seem to have taken a
dislike to me, so I bought a refundable ticket and marched
in through security and got into the club and then refunded
the ticket. So I did it the hard way. Irritating but effective.

Bounty bars
cat: tastealike, easy
yield: 12

15 oz milk cooking chocolate
3 c shredded coconut
1 c sweetened condensed milk

In a medium bowl, mix coconut and sweetened condensed milk
to make a thick and sticky paste. Using your hands, form
some rectangles with the paste. Press firmly to make sure
the rectangles will keep their shape. Every 3 or 4
rectangles, wash your hands and do not dry them completely.
That way, the paste won't stick on your hands.

Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and
put in the freezer for about 20 min. This will make the
candy easier to dip in chocolate. Don't skip this part
or it'll be a mess!

In the meantime, cut chocolate in pieces and put 2/3 of
it in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on medium power
for 30 sec, stir, then repeat in 15 sec interval until the
chocolate has melted. (If you prefer to melt chocolate on
the stovetop, place a heatproof bowl over a small saucepan
filled with simmering water. On low heat, stir chocolate
until melted (allow a few min). Ensure the chocolate avoids
contact with water and steam whilst melting).

Add 1/3 remaining chocolate and keep stirring until it is
fully melted. It's called tempering chocolate. It will
allow the chocolate to have a glossy texture and to set
correctly.

It's time for dipping now! Remove rectangles from the
freezer. If you want to take you time, you can work with
one rectangle at a time and leave the others in the
freezer. Using two forks, dip one rectangle in melted
chocolate and roll it to cover all sides.

Using one fork, remove rectangle from chocolate. With
the other fork, remove excess chocolate and arrange your
bounty on a lined baking sheet.

Allow a few hours for the chocolate cover to set (time
will vary according to where you live, how warm is your
house etc.) and ENJOY!

They will last up to 5 days in a airtight container.
After that, they'll start to dry. You can also keep
them in the fridge but they'll dry much faster and
harden a bit, I don't recommend it.

For Mounds tastealikes, use dark chocolate instead.
