Delicious and so buttery melt-in-the-mouth ! These Butter Coconut Bars have a chocolate glaze, easy to make and NO eggs or milk required

Buttery, moist sweet treats which will be liked by all, especially Coconut lovers.

These Butter Coconut Bars are quick to make and require no eggs or milk.

It gives the most delicious smell while baking and your house would smell absolutely wonderful !

Which might also not be a good thing, as these bars need to cool completely and I am one who can normally not wait to cut into a great smelling dessert.

Don’t ask how I know ! But do not even attempt to cut out a small tasting piece before the baked cake spent at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator – it will crumble away.

After the initial chilling time, I did not return the bars to the refrigerator as they were by then nicely set and kept up well.

This is definitely all Coconut lovers’ dream treat. Buttery coconut with a chocolate glaze which is perfect to serve at tea time or as an everyday dessert (also excellent as a treat in the kids’ lunchbox!).
