~Recipe Notes:

1) These Coconut Stuffed Brownies are like a coconut macaroon stuffed inside fudgy brownies! It's like a Mounds bar in brownie form...perfect for the coconut lover in your life!

 2)  The brownies will be fairly thick, and you will need to make sure they are fully baked, but NOT over baked!! The texture of the brownie on this one is slightly different than a typical fudgy brownies, because we wanted it to be thick, but sturdy.  

Enjoy!
