I’m working for the weekend and it’s only Tuesday!
As I mentioned yesterday over the weekend I made some tasty treats for a BBQ. You better believe I’ll make these again. Last week I pinned a turtle bar recipe to my Sweet Treats board and decided to give them a try — and well added some coconut. Who doesn’t love coconut and chocolate? Next week I’ll share the homemade Almond joy cups I made… still dreaming about them. Ok back to the bars — they are extremely easy to make, but you’ll need to allow a few hours for cooling. I suggest making the night before your shindig. Enjoy!
