These bars are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The chocolate and caramel are rich and decadent, while the coconut adds a nice touch of sweetness.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these bars. The chocolate and caramel flavors are so rich, they balance out the coconut perfectly.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a little less sugar. I found the bars to be a bit too sweet for my taste.
