Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Toast Coconut

Toast coconut on plate in microwave until evenly browned. Stir often to prevent burning. WATCH CLOSELY. If you wish to use the coconut without toasting, that is also acceptable.

This is a very rich and wonderful dessert if you love coconut, it's for you! I did have a problem finding cream of coconut and had to substitute coconut milk instead. Still turned out wonderful and had the family fighting for the last piece!

This is just SCRUMPTOUS. I have made this twice and I'm thinking about making again this weekend! If you enjoy coconut then this is for YOU! Very Good! Also, just use a 14 oz bag of Bakers coconut instead of the more expensive frozen. You'll be in coconut heaven!

This was a very good, but very rich dessert. I found I could cut the pieces smaller, as it was very filling and most of my guests didn't want to be stuffed. :) I did add sliced bananas to the middle part when I added the crackle chocolate topping. Also, for alittle more heart healthy I used Mounds bars with the dark chocolate, instead of the Almond Joys. This was a big hit and every one enjoyed it. Next time I make it, I'm going to make it in a larger pan, maybe 9 x 13 and have it not so thick. I think you could even put Pineapple in the center if you didn't like bananas or maybe both, and it would be even more tropical. I also didn't toast the coconut. Too much bother for a small effect. I just sprinkled regular coconut over the top and then the Mounds bars placed on top.

IF you love Almond Joy (or Mounds) candy bars like I do, you will love this recipe. I made this for a Holiday party first & it was delicious. Although, it is a tiny bit labor-intensive - it is WORTH it! So, I made more for Holiday "Gift" Baking to deliver to customers & other such special friends -- a HIT! I will make it year after year and/or upon request. Everyone keeps asking for the recipe. One thing I did to increase efficiency a bit was use my stand mixer vs. my hand mixer. Otherwise, FIVE stars. It is very rich - I made 8 piece pies, but decided you could even split it up into 16 piece pies (or somewhere in between) and people would probably understand/agree.
