Oh, wow!

If I liked coconut....what a GREAT recipe this would be! Will have to try this, for family.

At first glance, I thought they were lemon....we just had an amazing Lemon Mascarpone (w/blueberries) cake, recently.

I’m STILL craving it 😍

The coconut candy sounds awesome! I make Coconut Macaroons at Christmastime; they are a favorite. :)
