These bars are the perfect combination of chocolate and coconut. They're fudgy and chewy, with a crispy macaroon topping. I highly recommend them!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have used too much flour.

These bars are so easy to make, and they're always a hit with my family and friends. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them, so I always have a dessert on hand.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have overcooked them a bit. But even though they were a little crumbly, they still tasted great!

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but these bars were still really good. The chocolate layer is rich and decadent, and the macaroon topping adds a nice texture.
