I stumbled on this recipe after accidentally clicking on someone's profile while reading a post on Facebook. I *love* chocolate, especially easy to make chocolate, so I made a special trip to the store to pickup the chocolate chips and shredded coconut just so I could make this. It was incredibly easy to make but we just didn't like it as it was overly sweet. The only flavors we tasted were honey, chocolate and coconut (I strongly suspect that you could use milk chocolate chips in place of the honey and dark chocolate chips) -- we couldn't taste the peanut butter or the oatmeal and never noticed the walnuts. Despite it setting up fully in the fridge we ate these with a spoon they will melt in your fingers. They do melt in your mouth which I found quite interesting but we will not be making these again.
