Good, but a bit too sweet - and generally I don't complain about that! I think I might like it more with nuts rather than coconut. I don't have a food processor so I crushed the crackers by hand and mixed it all together in the baking dish. That seemed to work out all right. I also used semi-sweet chocolate. Not only did I not have unsweetened on hand, but I also thought that unsweetened would be too bitter. The chocolate is my favorite part and definitely not what's making it seem to sweet...

I am 30 years old. I am married and have a wonderful family. My hubbie is the greatest. We have a 2 1/2 year old little girl. Her name is Lizzie Belle. I have pics if anyone wants to see. I work for a bank in Brandon, MS. My hubbie is a police officer in Jackson. I have a great cookbook that is called "Any Blonde Can Cook". It is awesome. I love to cook...when I have the time. My family keeps me pretty busy though. I enjoy reading books, going to the movies, traveling, spending time with my family, cooking, playing with Lizzie Belle, tanning, and getting my nails done.
