Add a photoI found this simple delicious dessert tonight and couldn't wait to try it. I mean, coconut and chocolate together how could you go wrong? One of my favorite candy bars is a Mounds, thought this resembled it. NO BULL I love this combination. It is a very simple treat to prepare as well. Lining the pan with foil makes for easy clean up as well...another major bonus in my book! The rich dark chocolate bottom is delicious. I'm thinking of other ways to utalize this delicious crust.
