Overall this was a very good recipe! I used white chocolate chips and pecans in place of the regular chocolate chips and coconut. My only complaint is that the bars were just a little bit too sweet for my tastes - I think they were pushed over the edge by the chocolate chips. Next time I will use 1/2 cup of nuts and no chocolate chips at all and I think I will enjoy that much more! I really loved the texture though - soft and chewy is very true!! Thanks for sharing this recipe - I think it will become a staple at my house!

Chef #8832636. My memebership on this site goes back to the days of recipezaar, so I have seen a lot of changes on the site over the years. I still miss the forums, they had a wealth of information in them, and it was great to be able to connect with other chefs through them. I don't think zmail exists anymore either, so I don't think we have any way of contacting other chefs now. I haven't been on the site much in the last few years, mainly because of the changes. I do still pop in to look for specific recipes.
I enjoy cooking, and am passionate about baking.
