These bars were made out of necessity. 🙂 I had to do something with the coconut that was left over from my Easter baking. I couldn’t just let it dry out or let it sit on the shelf until I forgot about it and it dried out! So, I made these. 🙂
The dark chocolate chips and coconut are great by themselves, but put them together in a blondie and they are amazing. If you have left over coconut, I highly recommend that you try them!

Letting it dry out would have been wrong. Good choice. They look and sound tasty.
