This tooloom was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

I'm not a big fan of molasses, but I loved this tooloom! The coconut flavor really balanced out the molasses and made it a delicious treat.

This is the best tooloom I've ever had! The molasses gives it a deep, rich flavor and the coconut adds a perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

This tooloom is the perfect make-ahead dessert. I made it a few days ahead of time and it was still just as delicious when we ate it. It's also a great gift idea.

This tooloom was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The molasses flavor was strong, but the coconut helped to balance it out. I would recommend using less molasses next time.

I've made this tooloom several times now and it's always a hit. The molasses gives it a deep, rich flavor and the coconut adds a lovely sweetness and texture. It's the perfect treat for any occasion.

This sweet treat is a delightful fusion of molasses and coconut. The texture is soft and chewy, with a slight crunch from the toasted coconut. The flavor is rich and decadent, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. I highly recommend this rec
