Coconut Brownies

I was not sure these would even turn out after I put them in the oven, but they surprisingly did. I am unsure if it was something like overmixing or the changes I made or whether it was the recipe but the batter was VERY thick and sticky. There was no "pouring" into the dish as the instructions stated. It was quite the battle to spread it out and I thought for sure it was way too thin. But I decided to bake it anyway and just keep a close watch on it. It only took 25 minutes to cook through and maybe could have gone even less which tells me there must have been something I did wrong since many reviewers mentioned cooking longer than listed time. Anyway, though still somewhat thin and dense they had a great flavor and a nice chewyness to them. The changes I made were using 1 1/2 cup splenda along with 1/2 cup sugar. I left out the nuts, and also the additional sugar sprinkled on top. I may have added more chocolate chips than called for. And I used 4 egg whites and only 2 of the yokes. I also used half vanilla extract and half coconut as another recommended. Even with messing up somewhere they turned out rather tastey!

This receipe is very rich and very good. It is also very easy and quick to make. I will make these again. I do think they are tastier when they are warm than cold. Thanks RecipeZaar!

These are great! I made them last night and had every thing mixed, then realized I didn't have any chocolate chips!! I subbed in butterscotch chips and they are great!. I took them to work this morning and got rave reviews!! I'll make them again, maybe I'll try those raspberry chips I saw metioned in one of the forums. Thanks so much for sharing. This is a definate keeper!
