Do you remember Coconut Rough’s from when you were a kid?

They used to be one of my favourite treats. (Before I knew better and I was a kid of course!)

Yesterday was one of those days…cleaning out the garage, working in the veggie garden and generally catching up now this amazing Spring weather is here. I just couldn’t stop thinking about Coconut rough’s while I was working…hmm guess I was a little hungry!

So I thought Id have a play with a recipe and see what I could come up with. It worked a treat and now we have lots of these little gems sitting in our fridge for this weeks nibbles!

So quick and easy, have a go and see what you think:
