I am a professed coconut addict. These bars are by far the best I ever had! I used unsweetened coconut because they can be seriously sweet. I use sweetened condense coconut milk, 2 teaspoons of coconut extract and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. This is my go to treat when I need something sweet!

2nd time making them, not sure why but it\u2019s taking longer for the filling to cook, been more than 35 minutes now and I followed every thing. The top is still pale and jiggly.
