Wow all three of my favorite desserts in one! They are incredibly rich but worth the calories. The bars were fun to make, my 12 year niece loved helping me. They are not a quick treat so allow time. After day 2 there were none left. I will definitely make for chocolate and coconut lovers. Just to lessen the guilt I may try them one time with fat free condensed milk.

made these last weekend and they were really too sweet and a lot of work. I will not be making them again.

These are really great! I thought it was a lot of work, i.e., bake the bottom, cool, bake the center, toast the coconut, but it was worth it! I'd like to hear from anyone that could tell me whether I can freeze them for a week or so.

I tried this recipe over the weekend and loved it! We had a few friends over that evening by the end of it - half the pan was gone. Next time I will be adding some toasted chopped almonds to the top rather than the toasted coconut.
