This was good. Make as directed except I used chocolate graham crackers. If I was going to make it again however (and I will) I would half the butter (crust was soggy with it), double the coconut, and forget the peanut butter in the chocolate topping. I really wanted something like the coconut bars the Cuban's sell in the cafes in Miami and this didn't have enough coconut.

September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. --- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time: 8754768"
