Brown sugar coconut chocolate bars are rich, sweet, gooey goodness from top to bottom. Perfect for dessert or a sweet treat any time.
As a baker, you can lure friends with treats. You can bake and have someone fall in love with the smell drifting from the oven. Better yet, you can barter with your treats! On Martha’s Vineyard, we’ve formed communities. Online Facebook communities to help summer people get housing, groups for selling and buying, groups for sharing daily photos of the Vineyard. How does this come into play with these delicious bars? Let’s just say I bought a chair and bartered to have it delivered in exchange of these treats (and some extra marshmallows!)
These brown sugar coconut chocolate bars are from Easy Does It: Winners & Favorites by Patti Roper. It’s a cookbook filled with traditional Southern recipes like Pimento Cheese, Creole Catfish, Peach Muffins, and these Brown sugar bars. Simple ingredients that should always be in your baking cabinet, make these treats a delight to share with friends!
Here’s the recipe for the brown sugar coconut chocolate bars.

Yummmm; not even out of bed yet and wish these were waiting for me downstairs. Just a great combination of ingredients.

I so love the notion of bartering; there is a swap group in Denver…you go taking your goods and barter with other vendors for theirs. I took wood butter and got cookies, biscotti, lavender bitters, granola and more. It is fun!
and i think bartering is so neat. that’s like what they did back in the colonial days in america!!!
my dream bar would be banana, chocolate, and peanut butter together. hehehe. i’ve never made a layered bar before! okay, press cookie dough in, layer with chocolate, and then layer with more cookie dough. got it!
