The idea for these brownies actually happened last summer. I was going to make a chocolate zucchini cake and top it with the classic Almond Joy ingredients. Both coconut and almonds are so delicious toasted, so putting them atop a chocolatey baked something with some good-quality chocolate chips, well there you have a bit of heaven.

The “Base” for these incredible treats is called “Heavenly Brownies” and kicking it up a notch by adding the toasted almonds and coconut and chocolate, well, I will just warn you to be careful, these are dangerous and once you have started eating them, you may have a hard time stopping. I immediately packaged mine up and took it to my friends who are having an art sale this weekend. They were devoured quickly much to my delight.
