I took a chance and brought these to a party after making them for the first time. It's really rich, but got rave reviews! One friend made me promise to make them for her birthday next month! I didn't have time to hunt for macadamia nuts, so I used walnuts instead. Still yummy. Next time I will use the macadamia nuts.

These were fantastic! I couldn't find vanilla baking chips so I put a cup of milk chocolate bits and a cup of white chocolate bits. They were delicious! I brought them to a party and they disappeared. The coconut was not overpowering at all for those that are skeptical of coconut. Great recipe. I put them in the fridge and then cut them the next day. My only complaint was that after the refrigeration part they were hard to cut. Worth it tho!
