Although I'm not a big coconut person, I have always liked coconut macaroons. When Tastefully Simple Crazy for Coconut Macaroon Bar Mix appeared in my new Spring/Summer catalog, I couldn't wait to make them! Unfortunately, they didn't disappoint. I say "unfortunately" because I have devoured the pan! I had a friend come over for wine and dessert last night and I decided to make **Tastefully Simple Crazy for Coconut Macaroon Bar Mix** for her. They were super easy to make. Just add melted butter and 2/3 cup of sweetened condensed milk. I chose a low-fat sweetened condensed milk and you'd never know it by how good they tasted. Just mix the ingredients and press the mix into an 8" x 8" baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. These macaroon bars contain mini chocolate chips, so they have the perfect flavor of coconut macaroons, but with the extra oomph of velvety chocolate in each bite. I like that they were bars because they were nice and moist, but had a delicious, crispy edge around the pan. My friend and I both absolutely loved them! I plan on buying several boxes of this because they will be a perfect item to have in the pantry for when I need to make an unexpected dessert for company. If you like coconut and chocolate, you can't go wrong!
