The recipe was missing some important instructions. I had to guess at how to do a few things.

The bars were a bit dry. I think I should have used more butter in the crust.

I had some trouble getting the ganache to set properly. I think I may have used too much cream.

The bars were a bit too sweet for me, but my kids loved them.

I used dark chocolate for the ganache and it was a bit too bitter for my taste. Next time I'll use semisweet chocolate.

These bars are dangerous! They're so good, it's hard to stop eating them. I had to hide them from myself so I wouldn't eat the whole pan.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut desserts, but these bars changed my mind! The coconut filling is so light and fluffy, and the chocolate ganache is the perfect finishing touch.

I made these bars for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone raved about how delicious they were. The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the ganache, as it was a bit too sweet for my taste.
