It gives the most delicious smell while baking and your house would smell absolutely wonderful !

Which might also not be a good thing, as these bars need to cool completely and I am one who can normally not wait to cut into a great smelling dessert.

Don’t ask how I know ! But do not even attempt to cut out a small tasting piece before the baked cake spent at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator – it will crumble away.

After the initial chilling time, I did not return the bars to the refrigerator as they were by then nicely set and kept up well.

This is definitely all Coconut lovers’ dream treat. Buttery coconut with a chocolate glaze which is perfect to serve at tea time or as an everyday dessert (also excellent as a treat in the kids’ lunchbox!).

"Buttery" sounds good to me. It would be hard to wait before cutting into these bars.
