This recipe was very easy, and came out quite well. I did add extra coconut. They freeze very well too. - 22 Apr 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
My family loved this recipe. The cake part wasn't crumbly, but spreadable. They thought it was like fudge brownie with coconut on top. I left out the nuts and just added extra coconut. I am going to share this recipe with friends. - 26 Apr 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Rename this recipe. Yeah it's some kind of brownies with coconut goo on top. Very, very yummy. I left out the pecans and added 1/3 cup extra coconut to make up for it. I used a cake mix with pudding and found the base was not exactly "crumbly" but more like spreadable like, oh yeah, did I mention, brownies. Still five star good and the coconut topping added an interesting dimension to the, uhhh, brownies. Delicious. Hubby loved them too. - 18 Mar 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
