Rich Chocolate Almond Coconut Bars image

We love sweets and this one does not disappoint. I got this recipe from a local paper 10 years ago. A lovely bittersweet chocolate crust with almonds and coconut filling. Toasting the coconut creates a nice nutty, dark, deep flavor. Sounds like a chocolate bar doesn't it. Yummy!

The bars are perfectly sweet and gooey, with a crispy crust. The chocolate, almond, and coconut flavors are perfectly balanced.
