Wow! DH said this is a recipe he could actually get fat off of! lol The kids really liked it as well. I doubled the recipe for a 9x13 pan. Your instructions didn't say to grease the pan so I didn't. I will next time though. Removing them was extremely hard to do. Next time I will add either chopped walnuts or pecans or some sliced almonds to the topping as well. These remind me of those Brachs@ Coconut Triple Layer candies. Thanks so much for sharing! Made for the April 2010 Aussie/NZ recipe swap.
