I think I was in about 1^st grade the first time I had these brownies. One of my friends, who will remain nameless, always made them. It was her thing, and she didn’t want to give away the secret recipe. Even in 1^st grade I was trying to get people to give me their secret recipes. She made these things for years and she would never give me the recipe! She and I kind of lost touch over the years but a few years back I saw her at a bridal shower. You might think I would ask her how she was, or what she was doing, or something along those lines. But no, I immediately asked if she was ready to give up that recipe. She laughed and said, of course I’ll e-mail it to you!  And she told me the super secret ingredient was German chocolate cake mix. You know what? She never did e-mail me the recipe, but she did give me a hint and I was able to find the recipe pretty easily after that.

A co-worker brought these Creme de Menthe Brownies into work about a month or so ago. On my way in I walked through the kitchen and saw them. Naturally I grabbed one! This was at approximately 7:45 am. Immediately after I ate it I went back for another. 2 brownies before 8:00 am…must be some kind of a record. Luckily the temptation wasn’t there long because everybody else liked them just as much as I did and they vanished before noon.

Coconut is one of those Love-Hate ingredients. Fortunately for me, I love it! When Kara (she’s a coconut lover too) and I saw this recipe on Brown Eyed Baker, we knew we had to try it. But for reasons I can’t explain, the recipe kept getting pushed back on our to-do list until months later we decided to make them.
