The 6 Best Desserts With Chocolate, #6
Even if your kids don’t care for coconut they’ll still scarf down these blondies. You may want to make a double batch of these coconut chocolate chunk blondies. Just sayin. Take a look at what my friend Barbara from the Bless Us O Lord food blog had to say about this magnificent recipe:
I’m a nut for coconut. So much so, that I’m not even going to apologize for that awful play on words. I can remember loving coconut even farther back than I have a memory (which isn’t all that far — I have an awful memory). I know when I was a little girl that Mounds candy bars were in my Top Five Favorites. And my brothers always passed off their coconut nests to me at Easter. I always seem to be the only one in the family who loves it. Which is why I almost didn’t make these blondies. My kids are very lukewarm on coconut, and I just don’t get it. It’s not really a texture thing, and how could it possibly be a flavor thing? I’m stumped. They were definitely not lukewarm on these blondies, however. They were all over them.
I didn’t care for coconut flakes until I made these blondies. Now, I’m a coconut flake “flake” 🙂
