The brownies were dry and not chocolatey enough, but the cream cheese and coconut mixture was delicious. Overall, pretty bad seeing as the brownie is the main part. WIll NOT make again

I am a newbie baker. All I've baked before this was store bought cake mixes :). I gave this a shot and it turned out just perfect. My friends and family really loved it. This recipe is a keeper. I substituted Almonds with Walnuts and was equally great!

I thought what could be better? Almonds, coconut and brownies?? I whipped up a batch, but had to subsitute walnuts for the almonds. This has a moist, chewy brownie and the cream cheese and coconut is a heavenly taste combination. Fantastic as an afternoon treat with coffee or tea, great as an evening treat before bed!
