These are pretty darn good! Nor a huge fan of coconut in baked goods normally but I had some leftover from a birthday cake I made for my mother. These taste like almond joy in cookie form. They needed to bake a little longer because they were still "wet" in the middle. I did have some trouble getting them out of the pan, but only a little. Tasty morsels!

Yum! These are indeed addicting! They're not an overly sweet bar, but the coconut and chocolate make them easy to just keep going back for more! :) I did add about a half cup of chopped walnuts as well and used a 71/2 X 11" pan to get a thicker bar (personal choice) and the baking time was right on at 25 minutes. Thanks for sharing another keeper kitten! :)
