These are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think they would be great with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bombs turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them the day before my party and they were still perfect.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but these bombs are an exception. The almond filling is so good that it makes me forget all about the coconut.

These little bombs are amazing! They're like a cross between a macaron and a coconut macaroon. So addictive!

I made these for my family last night and they loved them! The almond filling is so rich and flavorful, and the coconut crust is the perfect complement. A must-try recipe!
