Coconut Brownie Bars

These bars didn't look good (coconut topping looked goopy and melty), but they sure tasted great and were a hit at work. They are very sweet, so be ready for a sugar rush after one bar. Normally I don't cut items from a 8x8 pan into 24 pieces (prefer 9 larger pieces), but smaller bite sized portions are a must with these bars.

I adapted the recipe from the coconut bon bon bar recipe found on the Betty Crocker website.
