OUTSTANDING combo of flavors, & I'm with tigerduck ~ The dark cherries, dark chocolate & the coconut was a winning combo! This is definitely on my list of things to make when I next do a finger food spread for one of the monthly groups I host! Thanks for A VERY NICE TASTING TREAT!

These are EXCELLENT dessert brownies. Very moist and rich. Mine were well received even though they were served after a heavy meal (raclette). Everybody raved about them. I used maraschino cherries as I had a can that needed to be used. I don't quite understand why some of the reviewers substituted part of the coconut because the coconut is lovely in it and it is just the right amount. I personally wouldn't want to mix in any other flavour - the chocolate, cherry and coconut combo is perfect as it is. I didn't have any brown sugar at home so I used half white and half muscovado sugar and as I said they were to die for so I will consider using half white and half muscovado again. The only thing that didn't work for me was the baking time. I had to rebake the middle part the next day as that part was definitely more than just moist. However, the baking time worked for all the other reviewers so it must be my oven. Not a problem, now I know for next time - and there will most likely be a next time :-). Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders. Thanks bluemoon downunder!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
