I'm so excited that it's Spring! The longer days of sunshine just put me in a good mood. While I was blog surfing, I saw these beautiful bar cookies and I thought these would be the perfect spring treat. Fortunately, I have a houseful of twenty year olds home for spring break, so I can make a few extra things without worrying that it will be just hubby and me eating them. I was also lucky enough to have Miss M here to help me make them. These bars turned out to be really delicious and incredibly easy. They were a lovely combination of lemony sweet and tart and I was surprised at just how wonderful the coconut was in these bars. It added an extra dimension of flavor and a nice textural element. These are just the right treat to welcome spring! Enjoy!!!
This recipe is at my new site. Hope to see you there :) I've posted a lot of new things.

ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY!!!! Now, I found you...I am so glad I did...
ReplyDeleteThese Coconut bars are so lovely. I absolutely love your site..
I WILL BE BACK :)
You took a fav of mine (lemon bars) and adjusted them towards heaven with coconut! I'm (nearly) speechless GREG
ReplyDeleteOoooh. A twist on the lemon bar. Who knew it could be improved upon. Love it! Too bad I don't have a house full of spring breakers. I'd have to eat these all by my self. Not good for my spring break clothes...
ReplyDeleteNothing says Spring like lemon and the coconut is just a perfect addition! I am drooling and wishing that I had some of these right now. Gonna have to make them! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLemon bars with toasted coconut, great combination. I'm sure my teenage son would make short work of these. In fact, I'm not sure that he would even share these with his friends.
ReplyDeleteMimi
Kathleen, Thanks for visiting my blog. I love the toasted coconut on the top of your lemon bars. They look beautiful?
ReplyDeleteThese bar cookies look really wonderful. Did you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut?
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing. I love lemon and cooconut together.
ReplyDeleteI saw these at Jamie's. I normally like coconut just by itself but if the two of you both said these were good...just maybe I need to rethink things.
