  1. These were good. I made them without the coconut. I found after they set out for abit, they got really squishy and weren't as good as they were when they were cold. Easy recipe to do though.
     
  2. These were ok.. I made these for christmas eve. family get together and they were barely touched..I tried one and now I understand why.. They looked great but the taste I dont know if it was too rich or not.. I didnt use coconut but am gonna try again with coconut then rate it..
     
  3. These bars were excellent but i made a few changes. I made my own chocolate cookies dough according to a toll house recipe for the bars, and i used only 1/4 cup of coconut. These were really good but I think i might sprinkle a little extra chocolate chips on top next time.
