These were great and pretty simple to make. I made them for an evening get together and people loved them. The coconut shells could be used for lots of other things too. Thanks!

    These were unbeleivable! They were so easy to make and really good. I made them in mini muffin pans for little tarts and had twice as much filling as I needed, though. They were so good I decided to add them to my menu for my sons grad open house. Thanks so much.
