Coconut Brownies

Everyone seems to love chocolate, and if you share goodies with friends and family during the Christmas season, these brownies would be a good addition to the plate. They are very different from other brownies with the addition of a layer of coconut on top of a brownie base that comes from a box. Then wonderful chocolate chunks and nuts on top of the coconut layer. This is an easy recipe and the resulting brownies are moist and delicious. Blessings...
