COCONUT BROWNIES

Sunday, my husband arrived from the supermarket with a magazine full of amazing recipes. One of them is this delicious coconut brownies.. (I think this week was, the Brownies Week, jaja). I couldn't resist the temptation and I jumped from the sofa and I started to make them. As always, I made a little changes to the recipe, but the result was awesome, chewy brownies filled with sweet coconut and a touch of almonds... Incredible delicious brownies..
