I didn't sandwich them, and made my own sweetened condensed soymilk (so they are vegan) and these turned out excellent. I think they would have not been so crumbly if I had used 100% flaked coconut, but I had unsweetened as well so I went by the recipe. I'll be making this again, maybe with 100% flaked coconut instead for moisture or more liquid.

I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything!
I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow.
Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
