I love chocolate and coconut together. I have so much coconut in my pantry too so I can’t wait to give this a try. I love giving homemade gifts to my brothers and sisters as they all like to eat as much as I do. LOL!
Me too, Denise.
Droool! These look so chocolatey and fudgy! I agree, I can eat these any time of the day or year too 🙂 And yes, chocolate is one of the ingredients I splurge on as well. Callebaut is a great brand.
Thank you, Jolina. I love Callebaut
These would make a great “food gift” for all the teachers, or to take to house parties as a host/hostess gift. Homemade treats are always loved by all…and so delicious. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Absolutely, Gloria. Grate gifts for teachers
