Easter

Crispy Candy Easter Baskets

Macaroons dipped in chocolate

Macaroons and Chocolate -- A Pinch of Joy

 Coconut Macaroons with Chocolate would be a perfect Valentine gift.  Or an any time treat!  Cookies are extra chewy because they are loaded with coconut.   I love coconut.  And chocolate.  Put the two together – heavenly!
