BOUNTY BROWNIES

Hey you all, I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far.
These delicious brownies are baked in individual cupcake liners and topped with a Heavenly coconut filling, also known as bounty bars similar to Almond Joy bars. I dip the top in chocolate,

one bite of this is magical if you ask me, I love the combo and these are perfect to serve at parties.
