These are GORGEOUS, very different from the usual brownies I've made (never made meringue topped brownies before though!). Extremely moreish! Love the meringue topping and the coconut. It's more cake-like texture than brownies. Not too sweet, just right. I had to make a few changes: added in white chocolate instead of semi-sweet and flaked almonds instead of walnuts, since those are what I had. For the meringue topping, I skipped the cream of tartar since I can't seem to get hold of it here, added in a tsp of vanilla extract to the meringue. Thank you, HokiesLady, for sharing this wonderful recipe, definitely will be making these again!
