Chocolate Macaroon Squares

Joan Randall from CAPE CORAL, FL

What a wonderful, easy recipe ... and to think it all starts with a cake mix. The mixture of coconut, chocolate and pecans made for great eating and very little effort. I think the sweetened condensed milk is the "secret ingredient".
More Chocolate Bits Would Be Fine

Sue Emory from MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA

This was a pot-luck hit. I dutifully followed the recipe, limiting the chocolate bits to 6 oz. thinking perhaps it would be too sweet to include more. But the result was not too sweet and a full cup of chocolate bits would have been fine as well.
Sooo Easy

macaroon squares

Diana Patterson from HOBBS, NM

have made this using a chocolate cake mix and once with a yellow cake mix and both were very, very good. I personally like the yellow you really get to taste the coconut and chocolate chips.
YUMMY

Janet Sprinkle from Lawrenceville, GA

I, too, like the idea of bar desserts, rather than drop cookies. It takes less time and the results are usually beyond yummy!

These bars are so good. I like anything with coconut in it, and this is such an easy recipe to make. I like the fact that I can cut the bars and do not have to drop them like cookies. This saves so much time.

They satisfy my chocolate and coconut cravings. Yummy even with almonds instead of pecans. I'm planning on making them with a white coconut flavored cake. Then sprinkling pastel colored coconut on top for Easter.

Very good. I'm going to try it with white cake mix next - sometimes you just need coconut without the chocolate.

choc. macaroon squares

margaret philpott from newport news, VA

I used a german choc. cake mix and it was out of this world. With choc. and coconut, which are my favorite ingredients in any thing. This has got to top it all. It gets a no. 5 all the way with me. My friend just thought it was really good also.
CHOCOLATE MACAROON SQUARES

DONNA COLLINS from SNELLVILLE, GA

These were a chocolate lovers hit. I left out the nuts an added a bit more coconut and chocolate morsels. A fellow employee threatened to do me in because she is trying to loose weight. Aha, I won. She asked me for the recipe.
