Chewy Coconut Bars

By Addie

I was scouting out for a new YUMMY treat to make when I came across this FANTABULOUS little find on my friend, Holly's recipe blog...you can find the original recipe HERE. Holly said that these Chewy Coconut Bars were EVIL...its true, they are!! I buckled to temptation each and every time I walked past the pan~ luckily everyone else in the house did too, so they didn't last too long around these parts. These Chewy Coconut Bars are to DIE for, rich and chewy and the perfect balance of salty and sweet......I LOVE THEM! They are perfect for anytime, but especially for the holidays....bake away!
