These bars are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. I love the way the chocolate ganache complements the coconut flavor.

The coconut chocolate bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the chocolate ganache to set properly. I think I might have used too much cream.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They're still a good recipe and I'll definitely make them again.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great! I used dark chocolate for the ganache and it gave them a rich, decadent flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these bars were surprisingly delicious. The chocolate ganache really balances out the sweetness of the coconut.
