These are amazing! I have made them a few times now, and they always recieve rave reviews. I add a few more cherries and chocolate chips, and mix them and the coconut in a bowl before pouring onto condensed milk. I layered the first time, and found that the top layer didn't adhere as well.

These were very easy and very good. I made them for youth group and they were a little messy but the kids ate tons of them. Thanks for a good sweet treat.
