If I could give this recipe 100 stars I would. Absolutely delicious and everyone MUST try this. I left out the bananas since I took it for a potluck. This is incredible. I could eat the entire bowl by myself in one setting. Definite keeper. Thank you so much for the great recipe and I hope that everyone tries this one. You will not regret it.

Yummy...I had baked a ham and we had this and your honey french bread this weekend. Loved it, but I did leave out the nuts, but added the bananas and coconut. Great recipe Kimmie!
