Frequently Asked Question
Where do I buy toasted coconut?
- All you need to do is take your typical shredded coconut and lay it out on a baking sheet, heat your oven to about 400 degrees. Stay close and keep the oven door ajar to make sure you don’t burn the coconut, should only take about 5 minutes for it to turn toasty and perfect.

Kelsey!
I made this last night and was patiently waiting for it to cool down so I can dig in! Also, I used extra chocolate chips because ….well you can never have too much chocolate!
It smells amazing and tastes just as good!
Made this yesterday! I left out the coconut because not everyone in the family loves coconut. I made muffins instead which only took 20 minutes bake time. They came out very yummy! Not too sweet. Everyone loved them!!
Great!!

I made muffins, cooking time about 30-35 minutes
